About product

HMT Olympic 1:200 (Trumpeter)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the famous ocean liner Olympic in the large 1:200 scale from the manufacturer Trumpeter. The model captures the ship in her wartime form as the military transport HMT with a striking dazzle camouflage. It is a large model for demanding builders. According to the manufacturer, the package contains decals and rich equipment for the detailed building of this legendary ship of the Olympic class.

The real subject

The Olympic was the first and also the longest-serving ship of the class named after her, and the older sister ship of the celebrated Titanic. Unlike her, she had a long and successful career. In the First World War she was requisitioned and served the Royal Navy as a military transport under the designation HMT, dressed in dazzle camouflage and armed with guns. After the war she returned to civil service and sailed for many more years.

Building and painting tips

Given the size, plan the build in large subassemblies. Decide in advance between the full hull and a waterline version. Use thin cement for plastic and attach the fine accessories and the rigging at the end of the build. Finish and paint the superstructures and the decks before the final assembly. Apply a primer and spray the paints with an airbrush; the broken-up dazzle camouflage calls for careful masking of the hard transitions. We recommend displaying the model on a firm stand.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of large ocean liners and civil ships
  • Enthusiasts of the ships of the Olympic class and of the history of the Titanic
  • More experienced modelers who want a large model for a display case
  • Builders drawn to a demanding dazzle camouflage

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The Olympic was the older sister ship of the Titanic, of the same class. Unlike her she had a long and successful career, and in the First World War she served as the military transport HMT.

The model matches the wartime form of the ship as the military transport HMT with a striking dazzle camouflage, not her peacetime civil form.

Given the size and the broken-up camouflage we recommend it rather to more experienced modelers. It is a larger project that calls for careful masking.
