I came to the USA on this ship in 1952 from GERMANY. I WAS 5 YRS OLD. MY FONDEST MEMORY IS HEARING THE BAND PLAYING THE TENNESSEE WALTZ EVERY NITE. FANTASTIC..

+CaptainSmith23, This brings back a lot of memories. My parents and I sailed on her from Le Havre to New York in 1955 and it was a wonderful experience I will never forget. We had some rough seas the second day out and almost everyone was seasick--except for me. And I remember standing at the railing on the starboard side with the wind and spray whipping around me and I knew this was truly heaven. I have the Revell model which is fairly accurate except for the lower hull which was classified at the time, but I plan to create a shadow box to display it. I'm almost 69 years old now but every time I think of the fastest and sleekest liner ever to sail, I become a child again.

Nice build. I remember building it over 50 years ago with my father, but I put it in our pool and blew it up with firecrackers on the 4 th of July! Someone at a model club I belong to gave me the reissue in a replica of its 1953 box. Can't wait to start it.

Hello again Captain Smith. I have this unbuilt model as well as the 'Oriana' Queen Mary' and Queen Elizabeth 2' so it will keep me busy in the UK winter months , I've just never got around to building these kits as most of my time since retirement is taken up with model railways but I do have a soft spot for ocean liners from the past. I,H,

Another beautiful model! I also have this kit I can not wait to build it. Just one note, I saw that you have not painted the parts in white and can be fine, but the decals have a slight silvering effect that I would eliminate with a coat of transparent glossy or satin and then an opaque hand ....... I use to do so ...... congratulations...ciao

I have this kit and I’m looking forward to building it

Great model, I congratulate you!

Thanks for posting your beautiful work. Have toured the ship in Philly and wish she looked like your model. Efforts continue to save "The Big U."

I remember this model and built one when I was a kid. I always ballasted the hulls on my ship models so the would float. This particular kit was a good one in that the hull was one piece. No need to worry about seems leaking. I'm surprised there's no propellers. I preferred detachable lifeboats, which this model didn't have. I never knew the decks were green.

Nice model I plan on ordering this model on amazon soon and it was probably about $24.69

Nice model

Wooow! Finally, there it is. ;-) A very good job you´ve done! ;-) I was really looking forward to this video and now it´s visible how much patience you must have had... because of this scale...

Beautiful job mate, Revell should put the rest of the hull in now day you know props rubber but l remember the lower hull design was kept a secret all those years ago because of her speed l think see was capable of 37 or more knots .

Wow Great Job I Have A Titanic Model That I’m Still Building And I Don’t Even Have The Bow Done yet And I’ve Benn Working On It For Almost 3 days

Great build of an iconic ship. Its a shame she is gonna just rust away... I would love to see her turned into a floating hotel like the Queen Mary but I doubt that will ever happen

+CaptainSmith23 the model looks great. I have this model too, I just haven't started it yet.

This kit took me just under two weeks to assemble..

Great build, I have this one too, but I haven't painted the white stripe or added the rigging. I'll try to get that done soon, now that I've finished the Lusitania model.

You can see the difference between American designs and British. If it were writing, American would be slanted, British all upright!

She still holds the Blue Ribband to this day...SOS

I wish someone sold a model kit for the S.S. NORMANDIE. I've been looking for a very long time. I'll probably end up buying one pre-built.

Has a swimming pool ever sunk a ship?

I did it all

Why didn't you try to model the submerged part ('lower hull')? Without it, the model looks somehow strange.

Does it float in the water??? (thanks for answer)

aren't you the guy that got a gift from Ken Marshal

What did u use to apply the decals warm water or decal solution ?

The size is nice ok but there is no detail hardly all it is is the top deck the model doesn't involve any lower decks being put in not only that how the hell does the boat get around or do anything if there's no propulsion propellersí

If you study your subject, you will be armed with the knowledge to do a better job. For example, the white water line just above the red is actually only four inches wide on the real S.S. United States. Your white line should appear like a strand of thread but ..... well..... yours is way too wide. Your deck detail is beautiful and your lines are nice and sharp, straight..... That Revell model is not fit well so your job is to hide the seams as well, not an easy task with is one. I sailed on the Big U twice and love her, waiting to see her become a hotel and museum in New York where she belongs..... way cooler than the aircraft carrier with a Concorde...... Been on the Queen Mary hundreds of times growing up in L.A..... I know every inch of that ship!... no exaguration!

I have this model

Does it float
