Trumpeter 01646 1/72 Be-6 Madge: Kit Overview

The Beriev Be-6 "Madge" was a robust twin-engine flying boat active in Soviet maritime service through the 1950s, handling roles such as long-range reconnaissance, coastal patrol and torpedo strikes. Production reached 123 units and operational service extended into the late 1960s.

Assembly notes and detail level

This Trumpeter 1/72 scale kit reproduces the Be-6's gull wing and distinctive hull with a high part count for fine scale detail. The package contains over 240 parts, with finely engraved panel lines, an accurately modelled cockpit and substantial finished dimensions: 355.6mm long and 458.5mm wingspan.

Showcase potential

Once built, the model presents well in a showcase and complements other Cold War naval aircraft. Its detail rewards careful painting and light weathering for realism.
