Looks well detailed , nice work. I always wanted to do the 1/400th scale version.  I was contacted about 5 years ago by Minicraft and asked to write a review on the kit.  Seems that the Korean Model Company copied all the detailes right off the Minicraft 1/350th. version, including mistakes.  (ei) 15 port holes on one side of the foredeck and 13 on the other side, etc. Count the port holes you'll see what I mean.

Myself and 3 other modelers wrote reports for Al Tremble Pres. of Minicraft, he paid well too.  and added my name to the new instruction booklet, thats better than money!

Yeah, Is that the Revell version? If so, it was great for it's time, and the detail not bad either.....  I can't imagine, how many of those models have been built "sinking", Probally every kid who ever did models has sunk one at one time ;).

Nicely done. I especially admire the job you did on the rigging and radio aerials. That was the one detail my daughter wasn't willing to tackle when we built our Titanic last summer.

Very nice build and boy, it's huge!  I've seen a couple of 1:400 scale kits at my local hobby lobby and have thought about picking it up.  But, space is an issue right now until I get my display shelving up.

Very nice detail work.  Good job.
