Assembling the Trumpeter 1:350 HMS WALRUS

The Trumpeter 1:350 HMS WALRUS kit recreates the silhouette and key exterior details of the wartime submarine for hobby builders and military model collectors. The moulded parts focus on the external form so modellers can reproduce a recognisable vessel from the World War II period.

Assembly Notes and Presentation

This small-scale model is scaled to 1:350 with finished dimensions of Length 39.92mm and Width 32.42mm, making it well suited to tight display cabinets. The kit includes 54 plastic parts on six sprues, all designed for a clean fit; no metal photo-etch is supplied, so detailing relies on the plastic components and modeller skill.

Service Background

HMS WALRUS carried out patrols and reconnaissance during wartime operations, and this kit gives modellers a way to represent that role in a fleet layout. It fits alongside other 1:350 subjects to form small scenes that highlight submarine duties and tactics.

Construction time varies by experience, but expect several hours over multiple sessions to allow glues and paint to cure between steps.
Yes, advanced modellers often add aftermarket photo-etch, rigging thread, or scratch-built fittings to enhance the kit, though these are not required for a faithful replica.
Its small footprint and accurate lines make it a good choice for tight dioramas or multi-ship displays in 1:350 scale.
Use hobby brands known for fine pigmentation; pre-shading and washes help reveal panel lines and surface detail on 1:350 subjects.
