Kitlinx sent an e-mail saying that it was "on it's way". I wonder if this is just hype or is it actually being shipped to sellers. Glad all my Christmas shopping is done. Need to see if my credit card has stopped smoking yet, cause its about to take another hit! LOL
Available now from Megahobby for $449.00.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Cap'n Ted over at EModels just picked his up--that beast is huge.
Oh Come On! uspsJuan!
Everybody always gets excited about " Another " Titanic! What about the Normandie/Laffayette? or the Andrea Doria or even the S.S.United States. The Titanic wasn't the only ship to sink in " Modern " times. How about one of her sisters?
I'd even take the Queen Mary with optional parts to do her bow after she cut the British Cruiser in half, kept going for a long time Before they fixed it. Direct hit, Same general construction and she survived ! Nuff Said!
Oh, I forgot a very important ship.The Isle de France stood by the stricken Andrea Doria for quite a while taking on Doria Passengers.

I'd love a Lusitania, I'll even settle (prefer) 1/350.
ah yes.. the search for "bizantium"
I think it would be a nice change of pace to work on a LARGE model like this. It's tempting to buy and build, but where would I put it. Bummer.
I hope you guys post pics of the model and the builds.
I'm tempted to say "I told you so", Juan.
Well, I did. Any preorder of any kit has to be made with throw away money. It's terrible, but it's so common.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
I watched a kit review and this kit looks awesome.
I'm very happy the huge Titanic is out, and maybe I will scrape up the cash to buy it. The best part is that the manufacturers decided to do a civilian ship, rather than another warship. It is a breath of fresh air.
If I were to propose something in the same vein, how about a 1/200 Liberty Ship? They made such a valuable contribution to the war effort, and were the core of a number of companies after the war when so many of them were available cheap.
On the bench: 1/350 Trumpeter HMS Dreadnought; 1/350 Academy USS Reuben James FFG-57
Hi;
You know, I got to thinking ( I know,that's dangerous at my age). I guess it can't be too bad. The sheer size would impress anyone, But look at all the room for superdetailing. I would even cheat and use "N" scale figures on her. Bring her Alive!
By shifting scales a little with the deckhouse area you could create her sister or the " Lucy" Also at that size I would create a couple of windows in the opposite side from the viewers so you could turn it around occassionally to show some of the hull and deckhouse interiors. Imagine the reaction you would get.
I create freeform windows by making a mold of casting resin formed in a silicon mold that I make of a particular surface. That way I don't lose the original detail. They do work very thin if you are careful.
