The Titanic gained tragic fame after the events that occurred on April 14, 1912, during its maiden voyage. White Star Line's King of the Seas was due to carry 1,316 passengers from Southampton to New York. At around 11.40pm at night, the British luxury liner collided with an iceberg in the Atlantic and broke away from the starboard side in a length of almost 100 metres. Around 12:20 PM on April 15, the Titanic sank, killing 1,503 of the 2,206 people on board. The ship weighed 46,329 gross register tons and was 267m long. It had a displacement of 66,000 t.

For those for whom the model is intended, namely beginners, the body is already made of black material to facilitate painting. Parts of the deck are provided with fine wood plank engraving, other details such as bollards, benches, anchor chains and ventilators are also embossed. The only negatives that can be found are the raised edges of the bow and stern, which are usually railings and thus break the proportion of the hull and stairs. The decal is very well done. Beautifully structured in 9 stages, the assembly plan is very clear.
