Recommended Posts

For those interested here is a link with some photographs of a demo model of the forthcoming 1/200 Titanic from Trumpeter (approx 5th row of photos down) I believe it is about 1.35m in length.

I heard for this a year ago and immediately know I need to build it when available (Titanic fan from childhood) . Release date is planned for June 2019.

Kind of upsetting in away.

Close examination of many of the details on this model shows that the Minicraft Titanic that I am building now for my wife is of course inaccurate! After drilling about 800 portholes I am relatively familiar with how the Minicraft kit is set up. This model, and the color film that follows, show that the older 1/350 kit has MANY accuracy issues that at least in my case will just have to be lived with! There is NO WAY I am going to back track at this point and alter 100s of portholes to make it right!

 

It does look that it will truly have the potential of being a magnificent model though!

So there seems to be a good amount of debate over errors in the cast of the hull.  I kind of want to see the final mold before I put the money down on this.  Also, would it be wrong to have the Revell 1:200 Research Ship that discovered the wreck modelled alongside?  

1775 / 1893

I find it kind of funny that the two pictures provided for the lighting of the model show it with the superstructure placed onto the hull backwards! :wacko::D Shows real attention to scale fidelity.

Regardless would be a NICE mantle piece with the lighting!To many lifeboats (so I jest) the life boats need help oars,covers I sure the aftermarket world will chime in.Me I have a HK 1/32 B-25 along with some other big scale A/C I need to finish before I throw out more bucks.
