Trumpeter 1/35 PLA Type 56 Divisional Gun - Modellers Guide

This Trumpeter rendition of the PLA Type 56 divisional gun presents a faithful miniature of a historically important artillery piece. The kit focuses on correct proportions and component definition to give modellers a solid base for painting and detailing.

Background and Appeal to Modellers

From its 1950s entry into service, the Type 56 became a common artillery asset, reflecting the period's tactical needs. At 1/35 scale the gun's key elements, such as the carriage and barrel, are reproduced to suit accurate finishing and accurate display alongside figures and vehicles.

Construction Tips and Display Options

Parts are moulded to capture fine detail, so assembly rewards careful preparation and dry fitting. The kit requires glue and paints, and with weathering and basework it makes an eye-catching centrepiece in a diorama or on a shelf.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
The kit suits modellers who have handled small parts and basic shaping; beginners may find the fine details a learning curve but can still complete it with patience.
Yes, the 1/35 scale is a common standard so many aftermarket accessories and figures will fit with minor adjustments to fit points.
Use base coats, subtle shading, and weathering washes to bring out panel lines and mechanical detail; matte varnish helps replicate an artillery finish.
Build time varies with skill and finishing level; a straightforward assembly might take several evenings, while detailed painting and weathering can extend the project.
