I need to order a new part, after looking it over found out that the hull piece is cracked very badly.

It's a very fun model to build, but it takes a long time to build because of all the pieces, and a lot of them need to be painted. The model is good quality and very accurate to the real Titanic.

Everything was good with all parts there and directions pretty simple and model parts already painted to the manufacturer of the actual model details like as it moved off the ensemble line.

The media could not be loaded. Bought this hoping I'd knock it out in a few weeks, and finally finished it about 2 and a half months later. There were a few frustrating moments, but they were all my fault as an inexperienced model builder. (Fist model ship I've ever built.) I ended up ordering the model 3 times to account for pieces I lost, and then to get the decals on correctly. This seller had each model on my doorstep in no time, and in perfect condition each time. HIGHLY recommended for those interested in the subject matter. Also, no, that isn't the rigging line that ships with the model. I bought that rigging line from someone else, because the one that ships with it, while it looks okay, I think is to thick, and is to noticeable on the final build. When you see images of the real ship, or even in the film, the rigging is something you notice as a secondary thing, and that's how I wanted mine to appear, so the line I used is much thinner than the one with the kit. That made it harder to build, but was worth the effort.

I got this about a month ago and upon opening I noticed the box had previously been opened, main pieces had been bent and in some places broken off (nothing a little super glue can't fix) but yeah that was kind of annoying. Over all this model has been fun to do, a little hard to understand as far as the string part but you figure it out. I only got 2 pictures because I forgot to take some before I fixed them
