Hobby Boss 83421 Olympic 1/700

Hobby Boss 83421 Olympic 1/700 is a highly detailed plastic model kit depicting the famous British ocean liner RMS Olympic, made in 1/700 scale. The Olympic was one of three Olympic-class ships, alongside Titanic and Britannic, commissioned by the White Star Line and built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. The model represents the vessel serving Great Britain at the turn of the eras – from the early 20th century through World War I up to the 1930s, functioning both as a luxurious transatlantic liner and as a military transport during the war.

• Scale: 1/700 – the assembled model is about 38 cm long, allowing for a high level of detail while requiring little display space.
• Material: high-quality plastic with additional photo-etched parts for maximum realism – these elements reproduce details such as railings, chains, and the smallest parts of the superstructure.
• Historical background: RMS Olympic was launched in 1910 and served until the 1930s, earning the nickname "Old Reliable" during World War I. She carried British soldiers to the frontlines and took part in rescue and transport missions.
• Use of photo-etched parts – an extra advantage for advanced modelers who appreciate realism and perfection in details. These elements require precision and delicate tools.
• Category: plastic model kit with photo-etched additions.

The Hobby Boss 83421 Olympic model stands out for its great build quality, rich deck detailing, and faithful rendering of the original liner's silhouette. The detailed instructions make assembly easier. However, due to the presence of photo-etched components and the small scale, we recommend this set to intermediate and advanced modelers who already have experience assembling small, demanding ship models.

• Difficulty level: 3/5 – the model requires precise skills, especially when installing the photo-etched parts (for intermediate and advanced modelers).
• Recommendation: This is an excellent choice for naval history enthusiasts, ocean liner collectors, and fans of the World War I and interwar periods.

If you're looking for a 1/700 scale ship model with a remarkable history and eye-catching details, Hobby Boss 83421 Olympic is the perfect addition to your collection!
