Compact Trumpeter 03416 KA-31 HELIX Model Overview

The Trumpeter 03416 KA-31 HELIX reproduces the Russian carrierborne early warning helicopter in a tidy 1:700 scale. The model captures the helicopter's characteristic form while keeping a small footprint suited to naval scenes.

Assembly Notes and Display Uses

The miniature offers realistic shaping with 78 plastic parts on six sprues, so expect a focused build that rewards patience. Measuring 24mm by 24mm with an 8mm height, the assembled piece is perfect for placement on a ship deck or in a grouped aircraft display.

Background and Modelling Relevance

The KA-31 played a key role in fleet air surveillance, and this kit reflects the helicopter's radar-equipped layout. It is useful for modellers interested in Cold War and post Cold War naval aviation subjects.

A fine hobby knife, sprue cutters, tweezers and a small file will help with trimming and cleaning the tiny parts. Thin applicator glue and a steady hand improve fit and finish.
At 24mm long and wide, the model works well on carrier flight decks or as part of a mixed aircraft group. Its small size keeps layouts uncluttered while adding realistic detail.
Small replacement parts may be sourced from specialised suppliers or by carefully salvaging parts from duplicate kits. Aftermarket detail sets may be available for advanced modellers wanting extra realism.
