The Tone cruiser was distinguished by its unique design – all its main guns were placed on the bow, while the stern was entirely dedicated to onboard aviation, which made Tone the ideal vessel for reconnaissance and long-range operational support. Tone served during, among others, the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Solomon Islands campaign, and the decisive Battle of Leyte in 1944. This model allows you to create a realistic miniature representation of one of the most important ships of the Japanese fleet.
