I wish there was a nicely detailed model of the RMS Titanic on the market. The best I could find was the Minicraft 1/350 version. But I've had to buy lots of upgrades for it. Like photoetch parts and scale wood decks.
Also what about a model of wreck version with a little rov beaming its lights across its service?

Should you want to go large scale, then you could try the Mantua version.  RMS TitanicRegards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

The same Mantua kit can also be purchased in packs rather than all in one go so you don't have a huge outlay all in one go, it can also be bought as an R/C version, have a look down this list.. http://www.cornwallmodel...k/acatalog/titanic.html

Hi, I know that I am brand new to this hobby so perhaps I don't understand the way of thinking but to me producing a model of the Titanic's wreck which is essentially a mass grave is just plain wrong and disrespectful to all those that perished on that fateful night, it's one thing to reproduce a scale model showing her in her glory but as a wreck..... no that's wrong, no one should profit from that.

I tend to agree with you May it does seem a bit creepy having a mass grave as a model  Rgd Martyn Building ?

It is a ship with beautiful lines. That mantua kit looks wonderful and what a great way of being able to buy it in smaller sized units. Happy Modelling

I totally agree that the wreck site should not be disturbed as it is a grave site and should be protected, unfortunately it is being increasingly pilfered. but making a model of the site I personally doth thinks disrespectful at all, although I understand you thoughts on it, to me its no different to making a model of a Viking longship or stone henge or making a movie about it there are several scratch built models on the net of the wreck.

Just my opinion but I don't feel it is disrespectful to make a model of the wreck. I would say it is honouring them.
It's no different to James Cameron's movie that filmed the wreck. I thought it was amazing to see it and also honrable to those that lost their lives.
You can even buy wreck models to put in fish tanks.
