Text by Jerry Davidson (TRMA Trustee)

I liked almost everything about this kit. The model is highly detailed and quite accurate for a model in this scale. The beginning modeler will find it very accessible but a challenge to build. The high end modeler will appreciate the number of details and parts on the sprues. Preformed and presized plastic molding is a very big plus for those who will build this kit without photoetch details. The high end modeler will find that there are details on this ship kit that you do not normally find on others. I very much liked the deck detailing (a little large in the planking size, but very nice), with much more detail than most Titanic models. The Focsle' deck detail is excellent. You will even find the gearing from hatch #1 to the windlass' as well as the anchor well and prow detailing. Modelers will find that this kit will prove to be very user friendly for those that choose to add photoetch detail parts. I liked how certain parts were molded in their characteristic (or very close) colors. This would help the first time modeler who wants to build the ship and doesn't want to paint it. Finally, I appreciated how the model parts were organized on the sprues which will make painting the ships fittings easier. . -Jerry Davidson
