NUOTIE 1/1250 RMS Titanic Ocean Liner Diecast Model with Display Base

Product Overview

This 1:1250 diecast model reproduces RMS Titanic as she looked in April 1912: the black hull with a gold trim line, the long white superstructure with two tiers of passenger windows, and four buff funnels with black tops. At 1/1250 scale the ship comes out to roughly 22 cm (8.6 in) long — the same length as the real Titanic's 269 metres divided by 1,250 — and it sits on a wood-finish display base with a gold "RMS TITANIC" nameplate.

Key Features

• 1/1250 scale, about 22 cm (8.6 in) long, 2.5 cm (1 in) wide and 7 cm (2.8 in) tall on the base
• Diecast ABS hull with painted detailing: black hull below the gold line, white above, with porthole rows printed along both sides
• Four funnels in the White Star buff colour with black caps, fore and aft masts, and the bow well deck moulded in
• Three-blade propellers and the centre rudder finished in gold, visible at the stern
• Wood-finish display base with a gold "RMS TITANIC" nameplate

The Ship

Titanic was the second of White Star Line's three Olympic-class liners, built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast. When she entered service in April 1912 she was the largest ship afloat, and her first-class accommodation — the gymnasium, the swimming pool, the Cafe Parisien — set the standard for the era. She left Southampton on 10 April 1912 with calls at Cherbourg and Queenstown, struck an iceberg late on 14 April, and sank in the early hours of 15 April with heavy loss of life. Her name has been written about ever since, which is part of why a small-scale Titanic remains one of the most requested ship models there is.

On the Shelf

Titanic never sailed alone in story or in steel. Her older sister Olympic served for twenty-four years — including WWI troopship duty in dazzle camouflage — and we stock her in the same 1/1250 scale: see the HMT Olympic dazzle-camouflage model for the pairing. If your shelf runs toward warships instead, the 1/1000 USS Missouri (BB-63) or the 1/350 German U-552 submarine sit comfortably next to a liner at display distance.

An Honest Note on Scale

At 1/1250 the model is a display piece, not a kit to inspect under a loupe: windows, portholes and boat deck detail read clearly at arm's length, while the mast rigging is done in fine wire that rewards a careful eye. The masts and funnels are slender castings, so give the model a steady spot on the shelf and dust it with a soft brush rather than a cloth around the upperworks.
