Is it because it's really that big, or that I'm really just that short? Probably a bit of both.
Anyways, it's a stunningly beautiful kit. Trumpeter delayed release several times over the course of almost a year while they had the kit critiqued by Titanic historians and corrections were made. There are still a few minor imperfections, but only something a true rivet counter would notice (and there are thousands of rivets on this baby).
I do plan to RC this. There is already a conversion kit out for it. There is also an upgrade kit that contains 7 more frets of photo etch and wood decks. The model is also made to be lit with amber LEDs, which are included. I'll add smokers to the stacks and possibly a sound board to represent ship whistles.
But that all is a good ways off. I figure It'll be done two to three years from now.
