Revell 05243 1/400 R.M.S. Titanic Platinum Edition

Titanic Platinum Edition: When perfection is your standard

Many model makers know the dilemma: you buy a kit and then invest twice as much and a lot of time looking for "aftermarket" parts because plastic alone often doesn't look realistic enough. Particularly on historic ships, plastic decks or railings that are too thick seriously disrupt the overall impression. With the Titanic Platinum Edition we end this search. We provide you with a high-end package that leaves nothing to be desired. You not only receive the kit, but also the premium components such as real wood decks and photo-etched parts, which turn a very good model into a museum masterpiece.

Features

• Historical forms: “Tool from 1957” – hold a piece of Revell company history in your hands. The design reflects the charm of the early kit era.
• Large scale: In 1:28 (over 26 cm wingspan), the triplane looks particularly impressive and stands out clearly from the usual 1:72 or 1:48 models.
• Cult status: For many long-time model builders, this kit is a journey back to their own childhood. A real collector's item.
• Challenge Level 4: As is usual with historical shapes, real craftsmanship is required when adjusting and gluing the 60 parts together.
• Collectible: As a limited edition, availability is limited - ideal for fans who are looking for something special.

The "Platinum Edition" is our answer to the desire for uncompromising quality. You're not just assembling a ship here; you reconstruct a legend using the best possible materials. The construction process is a journey in itself: laying the wooden deck requires precision, but rewards you with a warm, authentic feel. Working with the photo-etched parts requires a steady hand, but gives the model that delicate lightness that characterized the original.

This set is for you if you want to leave the "plastic look" behind. It's the ultimate project for long winter evenings where you can completely lose yourself in the technical beauty of the world's most famous ocean liner. The result is a model that doesn't look like a toy, but rather like a technical exhibit.

Background information

The RMS Titanic was more than just a ship; it was the pride of the White Star Line and a symbol of the technical optimism of the early 20th century. At 269 meters long, when it was commissioned in 1912, it was the largest movable object created by human hands. Their tragic demise after colliding with an iceberg, in which over 1,500 people died, is deeply anchored in the collective memory. The wreck, which was only discovered in 1985 at a depth of 3,800 meters, continues to fascinate researchers and historians to this day. With this model you preserve the memory of the engineering masterpiece and the human destinies that are associated with this name.
