QM2 1:400 Scale model by Revell

Where exactly did you purchase this kit? I am in the US and no one seems to stock it yet. Can you help?

Hi Awan,

The QM2 kit has just been released in Europe in the last week.
I got mine in England and I believe that Revell seriously under estimated the demand.

It has sold out of most of the hobby stores here already.

The price of the kit is about $70.00

I would imagin that it is already on ebay by now or it will turn up there very soon.

Is it possible to place some pics of the box-contents ?

I'm interested in this model, but I need some more convincing

Hi Dan,

Below you will find the link to the Queen Mary 2 on the Revell Models site.
There are several images of the parts and the model being built which should give you a good idea of the quality.

I have seen one of the kits on ebay.

I can assure you that the model is made to a very good standard and the detail is good.

I have just started to cut out all the openings in the hull i.e. Windows, fairleads and portholes.
This is time consuming work, but worth doing to achieve a high quality finish to the model.
I am going to fit Ever Green Transparent sheet inside the hull, superstructure and bridge windows.

I am probably one of the most critical people building the model, as you may already know I was responsible for overseeing the fitting out of the passenger and crew cabins and all related areas on board the real ship during its construction in Saint Nazaire, France.

I have hundreds of photographs and lots of details of the ship that I put together during the construction.

You will enjoy building this kit, but it will take a lot of time to do well.

Beau.

I have just purchased the 1/400 Revell QM2, fantastic kit, the detail and the mouldings are crisp and flash free. I'm still building up my 1/400 Revell Titanic with Toms Modelworks PE frets. I thought that was a fairly big kit but the QM2 definitely puts it in the shade as regards size and detail.
Beau, how about putting together a build up review? giving us advice and any helpful tips and hints, I'm sure we would all look forward to that.
Regards
Rob

It's going for only $70 USD over there? it's 16,000 yen here! (about $160 USD)
