Overview of the Trumpeter 1:350 HMS WALRUS Kit

The Trumpeter 1:350 HMS WALRUS kit captures the external anatomy of the wartime submarine in compact form, aimed at modellers who prefer historically grounded subjects. The moulded parts represent the hull lines and key fittings for a recognisable small-scale build.

Building Experience and Result

At 1:350 scale the assembled model measures Length 39.92mm and Width 32.42mm, offering a fine balance between detail and display convenience. The kit includes 54 plastic parts on six sprues, all injection-moulded to provide crisp detail without included metal detail parts.

Role in Wartime Operations

HMS WALRUS served on patrol and reconnaissance duties during World War II, and this kit allows modellers to recreate that operational context. It fits neatly into period collections and can be paired with other 1:350 subjects to demonstrate naval tactics and formations.
