About the model


The model comes from Revell to a scale of 1:400. The kit itself in its current form or similar has been around for a number of years now. However to mark the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the vessel a special edition was released. This contains what I believe to be some re-tooled parts along with reprints of both historical records, White Star Line postcards and information obtained from the Titanic Museum in Germany. 


The kit contains a total of 159 individual parts. They are all plastic moulded with the exception of a spool of cotton to be used later in the build.


The instructions are to Revell's usual standard and are as clear and concise as can be expected for something designed to be multi-lingual. A lot of it is pictorial and is very easy to follow. 


The two largest sections are the two that make up the hull. It has been split into two halfs and getting them together quickly will give you an idea of scale. 


Next I will write about the tools...
