Shipboard SOC-3 Seagull model in 1:350 by Trumpeter

A 1:350 scale plastic model kit of the SOC-3 Seagull scout seaplane, prepared as a small shipboard reconnaissance subject to complement 1:350 naval ship models.

The SOC Seagull was a United States Navy scout-observation seaplane used in the 1930s and into the early years of World War II. Operated from catapults on cruisers and battleships, these aircraft performed reconnaissance, artillery spotting and light liaison duties. The SOC-3 designation refers to a production variant that served in shipboard roles where quick recovery and stable float performance were priorities.

This kit is supplied in 1:350 scale and reproduces the general silhouette and shipboard fittings of the SOC-3 Seagull at miniature scale. The parts count and sprue layout reflect a small-scale approach: the main assemblies are broken into multiple sprues with dedicated clear parts. Markings are provided for United States Navy camouflage; painters and builders should plan for fine brushwork or airbrushing to preserve the subject's small-scale detail.

A concise seaplane kit to enhance 1:350 naval dioramas; appropriate for modellers seeking accurate small-scale representation.

This kit models the SOC-3 variant, a production version optimised for shipboard operations with improved recovery and float stability.
Due to the small size of parts at 1:350, careful assembly and steady hands are recommended; modellers with some small-scale experience will find it less challenging.
The kit is organised across six sprues and includes six clear parts for transparent elements.
Yes, the supplied decals provide markings for United States Navy camouflage schemes appropriate to the subject.
For small-scale accuracy, airbrushing is recommended for smooth base coats while fine brushes are useful for small details and weathering.
