Trumpeter 1/35 40ft Container Model Highlights

The Trumpeter 1/35 40ft Container kit captures the familiar profile of a standard shipping container with well defined corrugation and lock fittings. It is suited to modellers who want to reinforce the logistical story in their military layouts.

Context in Operational Modelling

Standard 40ft containers are integral to supply movements and staging areas. Including one in a diorama can convey scale and purpose, helping viewers understand how equipment and stores are moved and staged.

Construction Notes and Presentation

Parts are supplied in injection-moulded plastic that holds detail well. Builders should check fit at seams and hinges, use appropriate adhesives and finish with paints and weathering to match the chosen theatre or period.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Recommended for enhanced realism
Yes, the basic assembly is not overly complex, though careful painting and weathering will improve the final result for newcomers.
Standard modelling tools like sprue cutters, a hobby knife and fine files are sufficient. Tweezers and clamps help with small parts and alignment.
With careful cutting and internal bracing you can pose doors open, but take care to reinforce the structure to avoid warping.
