Toys and Games Reviews of Revell RMS Titanic
Customer Review: A good introduction to model building
Summary: 4 Stars
For more than 40 years, I've had great fun building some variation of this classic Revell kit. Although I do agree that the model should have been better advertised as such, and Amazon needs to have a more dedicated Hobby/Model/Crafts section, it is still something that parents should be paying close attention to when they look through the various ads here and elsewhere for a product.
The kit itself is still easy to put together as always, and if you are properly prepared, it can come out looking quite beautiful. Parents wishing to teach the value of patience as well as educate them about the lost liner will want to buy this kit. I do recommend spending time with your child as this is not truly a kit for beginners, and many tools, the glue, and other materials can be very dangerous for a young child to handle without supervision.
For more experianced modelers and knowledgable Titanic buffs, the kit is a bit of a disappointment as it has not been altered very much in the last 30 years, even when other kits have to reflect new discoveries about the ship that were not known when the kit was first created. Because of that, from an accuracy standpoint, the kit will need signficant changes, which unfortunately means a great deal of scratch-building or purchasing of expensive accurizing kits. At least they can also be used as good practice for building the Titanic's sister ships Olympic and Britannic, or making a small-scale diorama of the wreck before tackling a more challenging effort using one of the much more expensive large-scale kits.
In short, a good first time model kit for a child, or a friend who is interested in the great and tragic ship, and can quickly assemble in their spare time, this is the model for them.
