1/400 Academy Titanic Build Log. Posted by BrianL on Friday, November 22, 2013 11:17 AM Hi all, With the 1:570 [almost] done, I tried a change of pace with two tank models and a Trumpeter 1:350 Dreadnought. I kept thinking, however, that I'd rather attempt a better version of the Titanic, so I finally broke down 2 weeks ago and bought the 1:400. Titanic, Lusitania and Mauretania Cargo Crane Pedestals for Titanic, Olympic, Britannic, Lusitania and Mauretania, etc. Model Monkey 1:400 400-titanic-pedestal. Academy releases updated with exciting new tool Hetzer and an Accurate Avenger. TITANIC [Centenary Anniversary Edition] to be released in September 2011. Brass chain and a special premium edition booklet – it looks nice here! We will give you more details on these kits as they appear. Newer Post Older Post Home.
At long last, ship modelers can rejoice; there is finally a Queen Elizabeth class battleship available in 1/350 plastic!
HMS Warspite was the second of five Queen Elizabeth class battleships. Warspite was laid down in 1912, and was completed in 1915, and fought at Jutland with 3 of her sisters in 1916. Warspite and her sisters continued to serve long after World War One had ended. Each member received extensive refits in that time, each ship becoming unique in appearance by World War Two; Warspite having major refit/reconstruction in 1937, and another refit in the United States, during 1941.
The Queen Elizabeths are armed with 8 15' guns, in four twin turrets mounted fore and aft in an 'A-B' 'X-Y' configuration. The number of 6' secondary guns, both deck mounted and casemated, changed over the course of the many refits, as did the anti-aircraft fit. These 35,000ton battleships also had 21-inch underwater torpedo tubes as built; these too were removed in the inter-war period.
Warspite saw intense action in World War Two, from 1939 until 1944, going into reserve in 1945 and after attempts to convert her into a museum ship failed, scrapped in 1950. Warspite earned the highest number of overall battle awards in the Royal Navy- both in World War Two, and of all time.

Academy Titanic Premium Edition
This is my first post
I will start another naval, with this is history until today, this will be my second titanic to be mounted, I made one for a client and this is mine, it will be lit by LEDs (not news because the other one I rode was also illuminated , when he turned 100 years of his sinking)
Many colleagues here have already set up this kit here, well this kit I have and the same one that was placed as Premium edition years ago, if I'm not mistaken 2012, the same year that I set up for the client that was also the Premium edition, only today the academy places the kit as MCP Multi Color Parts, only without the extras
