Billing Boats RMS Titanic 1:144

Billing Boats RMS Titanic
The RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time it entered service. Titanic was the second of three Olympic class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line, and was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast with Thomas Andrews as her naval architect. Andrews was among those lost during the sinking. On her maiden voyage, she carried 2,224 passengers and crew.

Kit includes laser cut wooden hull and wooden strips, fittings set, rigging thread, plan and manual

Wooden Hull
Scale 1:144
Length: 1880mm
Width: 200mm
Height: 500mm
Part No: B510

 

 

This would surely be the longest wooden ship kit on the market, longer even than the Amati HMS Victory.

Wow, this going to be interesting project. It's quite small

 

Looking forward to see more photos. And, wish you good luck with your build. 

Cheers, Bugra.

Lol I mean to post this in the kits section 

[demonborger]

Thanks mods.

 

The photo is from CMB and I suspect it is Billing Boats promotional material.

 

First the Warrior and now the Titanic and Billing Boats is very active in developing new kits. It does make one curious to wonder what will come next?

wow.. I bought the Mantua kit of the Titanic at 1:200 and I thought I was going to build a beast. Do keep use posted on this kit

Demonburger,

 

Do you want this moved to the Kit Logs or would you rather review the kit here and then open a proper log?

[demonborger]

No I don't have the kit, I always meant to post it here in the kit section but mistakenly posted it in the wrong forum.

 

I posted here because it is a new release and quite a substantial one that might interest some here.

 

Furthermore I think it is an interesting approach by Billing Boats to release wooden kits of late 19th/early 20th century iron ships, it makes me curious as to what is next.

[mtaylor]

No worries... it looked like you were beginning a build log.

List price in the UK £1000     

 

Kind Regards Nigel

I looked at the place available in my studio for this model, but then I thought I'd better choose the 1/570 scale model by Revell
