Just finished my 1/400 academy premium Titanic, I got one of the last one of 2000 made. And after 2 years of work. Too bad I didn't see this earlier

Thank you very much for this informative video. My Academy 1:400 Titanic Just arrived and I wonder how to paint the model, especially the hull + the golden line. I have no experience but would like to make my Titanic model look Like yours. Soo amazing! So, maybe bad question but what you could suggest me? A small airbrush? Or a specific pencil? I ordered the Titanic Paint Pack. And are there any european sites offering accurate tunnels and a historic accurate 3rd 3 blades propeller? All shops I've found have such high expensive delivery costs :o Sorry for the many questions but maybe someone can help me :)

@@daniel_at7059 Hello! I used the decal sheet from the 1:350 Minicraft kit for the sheer stripe (the golden line) but I would recommend using an airbrush. If you tape the hull and apply several very light layers of paint with the airbrush, you should be able to get a nice line. I built my 3 bladed propeller by modifying the center propeller in the kit. I also used the funnels from the kit, although I know a company called Model Monkey that makes a nice set of 3D printed funnels. Hope this helps!

Hi could you please tell me the height of the model if the stand is left off. I have height constraints in my model cabinet . Thank you

Hello! I unfortunately am away from this model for a couple of weeks but I’ll get back to you about the height when I return if it’s not too late!
