Trumpeter 1/35 PLA Type 56 Divisional Gun - Modeller Brief

The Trumpeter 1/35 PLA Type 56 divisional gun kit offers a compact but detailed reproduction of a notable midcentury artillery piece. The parts list focuses on the main structural components to help modellers build a realistic miniature representation.

Historic Background and Scale Interest

Introduced in the 1950s, the Type 56 was a core field gun of its time and demonstrates the era's design approach. The 1/35 scale allows for credible replication of the carriage, barrel and accessory fittings for display alongside other contemporary models.

Construction Considerations and Presentation

Precision is needed when assembling the smaller elements, and the model requires adhesive and paint to finish. With careful painting and weathering the completed kit becomes a convincing example for a collection or a diorama scene.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
The kit is aimed at modellers with a basic to intermediate skillset, given the finely moulded parts and the need for careful alignment.
Yes, the package includes guidance for painting and decals where applicable, but you will need to supply paints and adhesives yourself.
Subtle washes, selective drybrushing and light pigment work around moving parts will simulate wear and give the gun an authentic look.
