{"product_id":"japanese-heavy-cruiser-tone","title":"Tamiya 1\/350 Japanese Heavy Cruiser Tone – WWII Heavy Cruiser Model Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003e\nThe Japanese Heavy Cruiser Tone was one of the most distinctive warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Completed in 1938, she was engineered from the keel up for reconnaissance support, carrying her entire main battery forward while reserving the aft deck for aircraft operations. With four twin 20.3cm turrets positioned ahead of the bridge and space for up to six floatplanes, the Tone combined speed, range, and flexibility in a unique and forward-leaning design.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis 1\/350 scale assembly kit recreates the Tone as she appeared during the Battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944. The ship’s sharp hull lines, precisely molded turrets, compact bridge, and distinctive floatplane handling systems are all reproduced with impressive detail. Transparent parts capture the look of bridge windows and searchlight lenses, while metal components elevate the realism of anchor chains and propeller shafts.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nFor modelers who enjoy long, steady sessions at the bench, this kit offers a deeply rewarding build. The aircraft crane, trolley rails, turntables, and included floatplanes provide plenty of opportunity for thoughtful painting and careful assembly. A full-hull display stand and optional flight-display stands for the aircraft allow you to showcase the completed model with pride.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50346043343095,"sku":"MH_TAM78024_HH","price":236.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/3324\/8759\/files\/c52adccd89074536553b3d5f7ff6072f.jpg?v=1765376065","url":"https:\/\/checkout.miniaturehobbies.com\/products\/japanese-heavy-cruiser-tone","provider":"Miniature Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
