Of the two Tone-class ships built, the Tone was the first ship, completed in November 1938. It featured a groundbreaking layout for its time, which combined gunnery capability and reconnaissance capabilities, with all four of its main guns, the twin 20.3cm guns, concentrated at the front of the ship, and facilities at the rear to carry up to six seaplanes. Moreover, its rational hull design enabled it to achieve a high speed of up to 35 knots and a long cruising range. Excellent reconnaissance capability and maneuverability Her capabilities attracted attention, and along with her sister ship Chikuma, she was incorporated into the aircraft carrier task force. When the Pacific War broke out in December 1941, she fought valiantly as the eyes of the fleet in the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway, and the Battle of the Philippine Sea. In the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944, she spearheaded Kurita's fleet and contributed to the sinking of the American escort carrier Gambier Bay. Later, in March 1945, while anchored in Kure as a training ship for the Naval Academy, she was damaged by an air raid by American carrier-based aircraft. In July of the same year, she was bombed again in Etajima Bay, severely damaged, and sank to the bottom, remaining there until the end of the war. ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003eManufacturer: Tamiya\u003cbr\u003eItem No: 78024\u003cbr\u003eScale: 1\/350\u003cbr\u003eJAN: 4950344780242\u003cbr\u003eRemarks\u003cbr\u003e [Tone's Main Specifications]\u003cbr\u003e●Standard Displacement: 11,200 tons ●Length: 201.6m ●Power Output: 152,000 horsepower ●Speed: 35 knots ●Armament: 4 twin 20.3cm guns, 4 twin 12.7cm high-angle guns, 4 triple 61cm torpedo tubes, 8 triple 25mm machine guns, 4 twin 25mm machine guns, 25mm single machine guns ●Aircraft: Zero-type seaplane\u003cbr\u003e\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Model Specifications]\u003cbr\u003eJapanese Heavy Cruiser This is a plastic model assembly kit of the battleship Tone. ★1\/350 scale, 576mm in length, 71mm in width.
