Trumpeter model making for many age groups
The Chinese company Trumpeter has made an international name for itself in the field of plastic model making. Detailed components and true-to-the-original implementation bear witness to its quality. Fans of military history are particularly well catered for when selecting models: the company focuses on vehicles, aircraft and ships from this subject area and offers a wide range of convincing models. A popular and famous example is the Trumpeter Panther in 1/16th scale. This German combat vehicle consists of over 2,300 individual parts and has a complete interior with cabin and controls. When it comes to tanks and similar vehicles, the brand does not limit itself to such classics: the Trumpeter model making catalogue also includes Chinese, US-American and other international variants. Different price categories and levels of difficulty provide attractive items for anyone interested.
Trumpeter ship models in different sizes
The manufacturer also focuses on military models for its watercraft. The Trumpeter Bismarck is probably the best known representative in the German-speaking world. International cruisers or aircraft carriers complete the Trumpeter Model Catalogue. The Trumpeter RMS Titanic immediately catches the eye among the models of civil vehicles. The company has recently upgraded this model: In addition to the exact implementation, the package includes LED lights with cable routing. Hobbyists use them to illuminate the interior of the legendary ocean liner. The product belongs to the brand's premium class. Especially for the ships, the company emphasizes its photo etching process. This is used to produce small parts such as radar or railings cleanly and flawlessly. In return, the kits do without filigree work on the basic structure: Most hulls consist of two interlocking components.
Aircraft models and locomotives from Trumpeter
Airplanes and trains are in great demand by collectors. Therefore they are a must for Trumpeter's plastic model making. Especially the Trumpeter airplane models exist in almost endless quantities, whereby the army theme is not neglected. The Russian MiG, the British Hurricane or the German Messerschmitt are available in several versions. Thanks to Chinook or Panther helicopter fans discover suitable alternatives. For its locomotives the company also relies on armoured prototypes from combat missions. The most popular train is probably the Trumpeter BR 52, and the BR57 tank locomotive is also owned by many model builders. Some of the locomotives include a small track section with a green landscape in the standard package. This improves the possibilities for presenting the finished sets. Additions and spare parts extend the options.
