This model is one that I've had my eye on building for a while, and after seeing a great deal on Amazon.com, I decided to buy the kit. The photo-etched railings look like they'll add a great amount of detail to the model, and I can't wait to assemble it!
Recommendations for Modelers: I would recommend purchasing more photo-etched parts from a dealer such as Toms Modelworks [...] or Gold Medal Models [...] for even greater detail to your model. I have not even added them to the model yet, but once you see them, you know they can't look bad. As always, patience is a virtue, so do your research on how to correctly apply the parts and paint the kit. I am also planning on drilling out the portholes and installing lights on the inside of the ship; they require 3/64 and 1/16 drill bits, if I recall correctly.
As stated before, do your research! There are plenty of places online to help you build the model of your dreams, such as the Titanic Research and Modeling Association [...] and Model Warships [...] to name a few. Don't be afraid to join their forums and ask for advice...these modelers know what they're doing!
