Description
Special Series No. 30-EX-2 - Imperial Japanese Navy Heavy Cruiser - Includes Etching Parts
Special Series Tone now comes with etching parts.\
\
This product is an unpainted kit requiring assembly with glue and painting. \
Scale is 1/700, an open-water model without the hull bottom.\
This product combines molds from the previous (Special Series) with newly added molded parts.\
The product depicts the Tone-class lead ship “Tone” as she appeared during the Battle of Leyte Gulf (October 1944). \
It features Type 21 and Type 22 radar on the forward mast, Type 13 radar on the aft mast, and numerous 25mm single-mount machine guns.\
Includes etching parts for detailed representation of features difficult to reproduce with injection-molded parts.\
Etching parts include railings, ladders, radars, cranes, and catapults. \
Decals include markings such as the warship flag, national flag, and the Hinomaru for carrier-based aircraft.\
・The Type 13 radar is a newly included part featuring sculpted truss structure and shaped antenna elements.\
・The Type 21 radar features finer sculpting than previous parts, including the insulator bases securing the front-facing elements. \
・The Type 22 radar employs a slide mold to create a separate part depicting the open state.\
・The 12.7cm Twin High-Angle Gun A1 Kai 1 is subdivided into 6 parts, increasing sculpting resolution from the previous 2-part design.\
・The 9-meter cutter is split into 2 parts for easier painting. A separate mounting bracket part is provided, allowing choice between the integrated deck mold or the bracket part. ・The 11-meter motorboat features separate parts for the canvas and the steering/engine room canopy to facilitate painting. Each part is painted separately, with assembly and gluing performed afterward.\
・The ship's boat davits feature molded recesses and small holes, enhancing the sense of precision.\
・New parts are provided for the chrysanthemum crest on the bow, the navigation lights on the bridge sides, and the lifebuoys. \
・Binocular telescope parts added to the anti-aircraft command post and compass bridge.\
・Added decals for the stern ship name (in the standard navy paint color tone) and mast white stripes.\
・The Type 96 25mm machine gun now comes as a standard two-part assembly, reducing painting/color separation work. \
Hull\
・The hull is a one-piece structure molded as a single unit for both port and starboard sides, allowing for stable assembly compared to a left-right jointing method.\
・Numerous sealed portholes, unsealed portholes lining the sides, and the surrounding external electrical circuits are reproduced with detailed three-dimensional sculpting. \
Upper Deck\
・The upper deck is a single part, featuring detailed engraving for the linoleum deck fasteners and the anti-slip iron deck plates. \
Ammunition boxes are molded as a single piece onto the deck.\
Decks\
・The shelter deck is a separate part, accurately reproducing the lower torpedo equipment compartments.\
・The rails connecting to the flight deck are molded as a single piece using slide molding. \
Bridge\
・The distinctive small bridge structure is assembled from layered parts for precise shape reproduction.\
・Separate parts for the ladder and truss-shaped supports enhance precision. Main Turrets\
・The main gun barrels can be positioned at any elevation angle by adjusting their attachment angle to the turret.\
・Minuscule engravings depict details like the side openings for heat shields.\
Functions\
・Both fore and aft funnels are split left-right sections, featuring delicately engraved handrails and double scaffolding. \
・The rain guards on the funnels are open, allowing visibility to the inner tubes.\
・The steam exhaust pipes are separate parts from the funnels, enhancing detail. \
Masts & Aviation Equipment\
・The rear mast is finished with a precise form despite minimal part segmentation, including struts and the radar room.\
・The catapult (Kure Type 2 Model 5) utilizes slide molding for the side/top surfaces.
