Just seen ths is a collect only - will not ship but if your local to the seller an absolute bargain. Not sure if any of the guys/gals want a Titanic but just seen this on eBay with a free postage and buy me now at £150 http://pages.ebay.com/li...33&globalID=EBAY-GB
I already have this collection but will say this is a bargain - I paid £30 plus just for postage on mine and some of it had to be replaced with other eBay editions. Thought it worth a mention - and no it's not me or anyone I know selling this but as complete is usually on eBay for around £300 someone could bag a bargain Happy building Tony Happy Modelling

Hi Tony, Nice find.  I purchased one of these in the not to distant past. It had been started, but still a good purchase for the price I paid. One thing that anyone considering buying one of these kits is, that if you are looking for a serious quality kit, then you will have to invest some funds for enhancements. The walls of the deck compartments are stick-on paper patterns and not in "my" opinion very good. See "Save the Titanic" in other ship builds post #18. My build at this time has been stashed temporarily till I have the funds to buy the enhancements. Brass etch enhancements are available from the likes of Cornwall Model Boats in the correct scale of 1:250, but if you go for the whole lot it heads up to £219. You can of course build it as intended via the kit, but thought I`d let you know beforehand. Happy Building Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi Del I do remember the paper windows on this kit, and yes they did look awful but I guess in the right hands and with a bit more spending then I reckon it could be ok. Steve

Steve Hi Steve, Yep, you are right the basis of the kit seems fine, but thought I`d put up the warning of extra potential costs to anyone thinking of making the purchase, as the saying goes "forewarned is forearmed". Thanks for your reply Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
