Trumpeter 03416 KA-31 HELIX 1:700 Naval Helicopter Model Kit  [TP03416]

Trumpeter 03416 KA-31 HELIX in 1:700 Scale

The Trumpeter 03416 KA-31 HELIX is a carefully produced 1:700 scale miniature that recreates the look of the Russian naval airborne early warning helicopter. Its compact footprint makes it a popular pick for modellers focused on naval aviation subjects and period displays.

Build Character and Display Fit

This small-scale kit balances neat surface detail with a modest parts count, making it rewarding to assemble for hobbyists with basic modelling experience. With a length and width of 24mm each and a height of 8mm, the finished model slots neatly into ship decks or small diorama scenes. The set contains 78 plastic parts across six sprues, so expect a few tiny components that need careful handling.

Operational Background and Scale Accuracy

The KA-31 HELIX served to extend fleet radar coverage from the air, and this model reflects the helicopter's distinctive features and silhouette. It is a useful reference piece for those documenting Cold War and later naval aviation developments.
