Photo Review: Tamiya 1/350 IJN Tone Heavy Cruiser

[Adam Baker]

A box photo review of Tamiya's 1/350 IJN Tone Heavy Cruiser.

Detail appears to be very crisp. Initial inspection shows no visible flashing. Kit allows for both full hull and water line construction. Included with the kit is a nice fret of photoetch parts that include the aircraft crane and the dolly's for the 5 reconnaissance aircraft, among other details. Included is the typical bag of hardware w/ screws, anchor chains, propeller shafts, and a few other sundry items.
