Operational History Brief

Tone was notable within the Imperial Japanese Navy for its speed and offensive weapons. Measuring about 189.1 metres in length and reaching speeds around 35 knots, it mounted 20cm guns and torpedo armaments. Its wartime role makes it a strong subject for historically minded builders.

Assembly Features and Display Choices

Builders can opt for a waterline configuration or a complete hull presentation to suit display needs. The kit includes clear components for bridge windows and searchlights, while masts and radio fittings are moulded in reinforced ABS resin to hold fine detail and resist damage.
