modeller_masa Posted October 19, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2021 Hello, I bought the R.M.S. Lusitania 1/350 classic kit at a clearance sale. The price was $50 fortunately. You can find more information about this kit from the scalemates. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/gunze-sangyo-g401-rms-lusitania--1018857 The Box size is 780 x 280 x 100 mm. As you can find, this 45 years old kit is pretty much aged, and mold isn't explicit. I may be able to replace railings to PE parts. The left parts aren't chimney. They are stand pillars! Assembly overview... 🧐 Rigging is straight forward. Not bad for the scale and the age. R.M.S. Lusitania isn't more famous than Titanic. If you need reference data, there are great ship simulator games on Steam. The Ship Simulator Extremes is a bit aged and details are not good. 'The Sinking experience' series are super great reference and extremely detailed! And only $3.00 ! If you have PC with good GPU card, there are several ship simulators such as European Ship Emulator, Shipyard Simulator, Ship handling emulator, and Sailing ship builder, etcs. Some games are a bit out-dated and not handy, but their 3D-closed up details are very intuitive and cheaper than reference books in my opinion.
