Trumpeter 1:350 Ka-31 HELIX Naval Helicopter Model

The Trumpeter 1:350 Ka-31 HELIX scale model presents a finely detailed miniature of the Russian naval early warning helicopter. Built to reflect the Ka-31's distinctive radar dome and role in maritime surveillance, this kit gives hobbyists a compact yet authentic subject for their fleet displays.

Build Notes and Display Scale

At 41.8mm long and 40.1mm wide, the model fits neatly into any 1:350 ship diorama. The kit contains 90 plastic parts across six sprues, offering a satisfying assembly without metal, resin, or photo-etched components. Decals are not supplied, so modellers often turn to aftermarket sheets to personalise markings.

Historical Context and Realism

The Ka-31 HELIX has a long service history with Russian naval aviation, known for airborne radar surveillance. This model emphasises correct proportions and surface detail to capture the operational look of the real aircraft.
