Trumpeter 06243 SBC Scout Bomber in 1:350

This Trumpeter kit recreates a classic naval scout bomber at 1:350 scale, tailored for hobbyists who value accurate detailing. With 72 precision parts, the model gives a compact yet faithful representation of the SBC Scout Bomber for display or diorama projects.

Role and Historical Notes

The SBC Scout Bomber fulfilled reconnaissance and light bombing duties aboard ships, prized for its handling and mission flexibility. Modellers can use this kit to study design cues and carrier service roles from the aircraft's era.

Construction Overview

Putting the kit together calls for patience and care due to the small components spread across six sprues. Finished dimensions are small, about 24.66 mm long by 29.60 mm wide, so keen attention to fit and finish will improve the final appearance.

Display Potential

Completed builds add period authenticity to collections centred on naval aviation or carrier operations. The accurate shape and US NAVY decal options make the model an attractive piece for shelf displays in a 1:350 lineup.

Yes, painting greatly enhances realism. Use fine brushes or airbrush for even coats, and reference period colours for authentic US NAVY schemes.
Aftermarket photoetched parts or resin upgrades can enhance fine details, but check that additions are scaled for 1:350 and compatible with the kit's components.
