Overview of Trumpeter 06256 1/350 CH-46 Sea Knight for collectors

The Trumpeter 1/350 CH-46 Sea Knight represents the tandem rotor transport that served with the U.S. Marine Corps across several campaigns. This compact scale model highlights the helicopter's key lines and gives modellers a way to include a classic military rotorcraft in their collections.

Presentation and modelling benefits

The kit's small scale still allows for recognisable detail on the fuselage and rotor head. Built examples make attractive items for display cabinets and pair well with other military or naval models at similar scales.

Building Insights

Accuracy comes from careful assembly, particularly when seating rotor components and closing the fuselage. Painting is optional but recommended to achieve authentic finishes and to emphasise panel details.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/350
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Optional for enhanced realism
Some builders choose to fix rotors at varying angles. Check fit and balance before gluing and consider support jigs while glue sets to avoid droop.
Basic skills like careful trimming, sanding seams and precise gluing are important. Experience with small parts and steady painting will improve the final result.
Keep sprues and decals in a dry, dust-free place and avoid extreme temperatures. Follow box instructions to prevent losing small parts prior to assembly.
Use a fine primer to pick up surface detail, then apply thin paint layers. Mask carefully for multi-tone schemes and add light weathering to suggest operational wear.
