"Take her to sea, Mr. Murdoch. Let's stretch her legs." Captain E. Smith. My favourite quote, and scene, from the 1997 film set aboard the RMS Titanic which was the largest ship afloat on 15 April 1912. She was a beautiful greyhound of her time and her incredibly sad fate still captures our imagination today. This is the Revell 1/570th scale kit of the RMS Titanic, it was first released in 1970 and my parsimonious wife snagged it for £10.50 from M&S on Boxing Day, 2012. It isn't a detailed kit but I have enjoyed building it as one of my 'Covid-19' projects with very few scale modelling resources to hand at the start. The hull and superstructure were mostly airbrushed using the acrylic paints supplied with the kit. The decks, funnels and details were all hand painted. She was finished with a coat of acrylic satin varnish. I really enjoyed putting this kit together, only my third 'floaty thing' since I was 10 years old! My wife likes it but is demanding a 1/570 scale pair of binoculars for the crows nest as well as a scale polystyrene iceberg 😙 IMGP3938size by Ghostbase, on Flickr IMGP3937size by Ghostbase, on Flickr IMGP3932size by Ghostbase, on Flickr IMGP3942size by Ghostbase, on Flickr IMGP3940size by Michael Baldock, on Flickr -
Hello, Has someone ever tried to use the best part from the old Airfix and Revell kits of Scharnhorst and Gneisenau to buld an more correct 1/600 ship with clipperbow? And maybe with parts from Airfix Prinz eugen as well... ; ) Cheers / André
