1:350 SOC-3 Seagull Seaplane Kit - Trumpeter 06205  [TP06205]

Trumpeter SOC-3 Seagull 1:350 shipboard seaplane

A 1:350 scale plastic model kit of the SOC-3 Seagull scout seaplane, designed as a compact 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 compact, small-scale seaplane subject that complements 1:350 naval dioramas; suitable for builders focused on display accuracy at miniature scale.
