Trumpeter 06256 1/350 CH-46 Sea Knight - Close scale study for builders

The Trumpeter 1/350 CH-46 Sea Knight captures the character of this tandem rotor military transport, long associated with the U.S. Marine Corps. The model reflects the Sea Knight's distinctive silhouette and gives hobbyists a compact way to explore a key piece of rotary wing history from Vietnam era operations through later deployments.

Kit appeal and presentation for display

This Trumpeter kit balances detail and accessibility, with parts that reproduce the CH-46's rotors and fuselage form accurately. Finished builds make strong display pieces and integrate well into naval collections or small-scale dioramas thanks to the 1/350 footprint.

Building Insights

The assembly rewards steady work, especially when aligning rotor assemblies and mating fuselage halves. While paint is not required, a careful paint job and subtle weathering will lift the realism and make the model stand out in any case.
