Bow is completely wrong...😂....

No to be honest that should be impressive...👍 can’t wait what to see next..

The bow actually does look wrong. It appears to have too much forward rake and not enough longitudinal sheer. I really hope I'm wrong because I was looking forward to getting this kit.  In this view, the bow looks more reminiscent of those seen on the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth than the more upright bow seen on the Olympic class

That bow doesn't seem to match the pics at all... Think I'll be sticking with my Minicraft 1/350 kit of the Titanic! Lord knows where I'd put a 1/200 let alone trying to hide it from "her indoors"! 😂

 

And still no sign of Trumpeter's 1/350 Rodney/Nelson 🤔 They've been in the catalogue for a few years now but still no sign of them 🙄

Much the same with their 1/700 HMS Belfast it seems. 😑

 

Anyone on location who could ask them about these perhaps?

Here's build-up of the Minicraft kit

Here's the Academy 1/400 kit

The Academy has a significant error as it is missing the upward kink in the keel over the first 50-75 feet of the bow

 

The kink is quite obvious here:

And here's the Revell 1/400 model
