Add authentic degaussing wiring to your 1/350 fleet

The Tamiya 12630 - 1/350 Degaussing Cable Set supplies the small-scale wiring and photo-etched detail needed to represent degaussing systems found on WWII Japanese warships. Magnetic countermeasures were an important defensive step during the war, and this set captures that element in scale.

Why degaussing mattered and its model impact

As magnetic mines became a hazard, navies introduced degaussing to alter a ship's magnetic field and lower detection risk. Including these elements on a model enriches its historical story and shows attention to wartime engineering.

What you get in the pack

This kit includes a sheet of photo-etched parts plus straight general-purpose cables so you can route realistic degaussing lines on 1/350 models. The components let you reproduce attachment points and cable paths typical of the period.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/350
  • Material: Photo-etched metal
  • Includes: 1 sheet of photo-etched parts, 22 pieces of straight cables (approximately 2m each)
  • Assembly: Requires careful handling and precise placement
The components are designed for 1/350 scale and can be adapted to many kits, but minor trimming or adjustment may be needed for exact fit on different hulls.
Fine tweezers, a sharp hobby knife, small files, and a precision adhesive like thin cyanoacrylate will help with photo-etch and cable installation.
Yes, the straight cables and etched parts can be repositioned to match reference photos or alternative fittings used by other naval forces of the era.
Photo-etched metal is thin and requires gentle handling; keep parts on the fret until ready to fit and handle with care to avoid bending or losing tiny items.
