When Academy released their 1/400 scale kit of the RMS Titanic it won the award for Model of the Year. This Centenary Anniversary Edition release builds on that original kit and includes wooden decking, white metal photo-etched parts, a brass flagpole and a brass anchor chain for enhanced detail. Also included is an 8 page illustrated booklet and a 150 piece jigsaw of the box art. File Attachment(s): Tomick attached the following image(s):

did you spot the deliberate mistake on the box art??? the rear funnel was a dummy,the designers decided that it looked better and faster if it had 4 funnels,a photograph taken at the time shows a crewman waving from the top of the rear funnel,so why was there steam coming from the exhaust pipe in that pic??? Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/

 One of THE best books on the subject, had this since it was published in 2005 and if you are building ANY kit of the Titanic, or more especially 'scratchbuilding' one of your own, then you really need to get this book - the author relates how he built an 18ft model from scratch and it contains everything about anything on the Titanic right down to the rivets !! :   Loads available here, both New and Secondhand : http://www.abebooks.co.u...a+modelmaker%27s+manual
