Unfortunately, this Titanic, I mean both the Rose and Taschen versions are not very accurate, They are attractive when finished but their accuracy leaves a lot to be desired. First of all, they are waterline, ship models must always be full hull to be really accurate; for this same reason, the visible hull has several shape inaccuracies. Secondly the model, for its size, has simplified parts which shouldn't be. It also has several mistakes like number of port holes, windows etc. that could have been easily detected by the designer before sending to the printing press. Try the Schreiber 1/200 scale Titanic. This is perhaps the most detailed model of this ship including plastics that I have seen in more than 25 years of being a Titanic fan. And it also has the possibility of motorizing without spending a fortune on wooden kits.
