1/1200 ID COMET SHIP MODEL – JAPANESE HEAVY CRUISER TONE This is a model of the Japanese Heavy Cruiser Tone. The side of the ship is stamped Tone Class Jap CA. This model was manufactured by Comet Metal Products in 1/1200 scale. COMET is engraved on the bottom of the model. The die-cast model is approximately 6 ½ inches long. This model most likely was made after the war based on the paint color and no evidence of it being mounted to a display board. These types of models were used to teach naval and air force personnel to correctly identify enemy or allied ships. The Tone and her sister ship the Chikuma were the only Japanese warships with their main located on the front section of the ship. They were built with the capacity to carry up to five search planes. That is why the main battery waslocated on the bow. The planes could be recovered on the stern of the ship while still moving forward. The model is in excellent condition. It could use a little cleaning as it has been in my display case for many years, but I will let you do that. The paint is good except on the tops of the secondary turrets. All the main and secondary guns and barrels are there. Nothing is missing. Model is sold as is, so please see the pictures. The photos will allow you to determine the condition. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions
