: what makes it historicly incorrect
Blake is right it does have a missing railing on the boat deck and not enough lifeboats or anchors but alot of this can be fixed. If you had it sitting on your shelf I dont think anyone would notice the flaws. Right now Im working on a Minicraft and Academy model and once again the quality on the Minicraft model is to say the least is very poor. The windows on the half inclosed promenade deck are flashed shut and it looks like someone from the factory used a screwdriver to dig some of the flash out now they are round. If you want a model that is Historicly correct The Minicraft is the way to go,but be prepared at times to want to throw it at the wall and you will start talking like a trucker before its done. If you dont mind having a model that has a few flaws(some can be fixed) much better quality and easier assembly the Academy is the way to go.
