Trumpeter 03930 Xian H-6K Strategic Bomber 1/144 is a precisely crafted plastic model kit of a modern long-range strategic bomber used by the Air Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. This model, in the popular and detailed 1/144 scale, accurately captures the modern lines and advanced aerodynamics of the multi-role H-6K bomber, which is one of the key aircraft in China’s “nuclear triad”.

Historical Background and Use

The Xian H-6K is a deeply modernized version of the license-built Soviet Tu-16, which has been in service with China since 2011. Its public debut took place during the military parade on September 3, 2015, in Beijing. The aircraft forms the backbone of China’s modern strategic air forces in contemporary times, designed for precision long-range strikes with CJ-10A cruise missiles, guided bombs, and other advanced weaponry, targeting both land and maritime objectives. The operational range of the H-6K exceeds 8,000 km, with a payload increased to 12 tons, making it one of the most powerful bombers in the region.
