Product: 1:350 Jap. Heavy Cruiser "Tone"
Commissioned in 1938, the Tone was the lead ship of her namesake class
of heavy cruisers. She was 189.1m in length, and was powered by 4
turbines which allowed her to reach a top speed of 35kn. She had a range
of 8,000 nautical miles at a 18kn cruising speed and was armed with 8 x
20cm/50 3rd year type guns (4 twin turrets), 8 x 127mm guns, 12 x 25mm
AA guns, and 12 x 610mm torpedo tubes and also carried six floatplanes.
During WWII, the Tone was present at many of the major Pacific Theater
engagements. At the beginning of the war, the Tone was present during
the attack on Pearl Harbor and also went on to see action at the Battle
of Java Sea, Battle of Midway, Battle of the Eastern Solomons, Battle of
Santa Cruz, Battle of the Phillipine Sea, and the Battle of the Leyte
Gulf. In July, 1945 the Tone, along with most of the surviving large
Japanese Navy warships, was based at the Kure Naval Arsenal. On July
24th, Task Force 38 launched a large scale air raid on Kure and Tone was hit by three bombs which sank her.
