Tamiya 12630 1/350 Degaussing Cable Scale Upgrade  [12630]

Scale-accurate degaussing cable set for WWII vessels

The Tamiya 12630 - 1/350 Degaussing Cable Set equips modellers with the etched fittings and straight cables needed to show degaussing systems used on Japanese warships in WWII. These installations were fitted to reduce magnetic attraction to mines and torpedoes.

Why degaussing mattered and model implications

Degaussing circuits were introduced to alter a ship's magnetic signature, lowering the chance of magnetic mine contact. Including these details on a model communicates the practical engineering responses to wartime threats.

Contents and modelling guidance

The set includes a sheet of photo-etched metal parts and 22 straight cable pieces for accurate routing on 1/350 scale hulls and superstructures. Careful placement and gentle handling are important when working with these elements.
