Product details

The H.M.H.S. Britannic model is a unique opportunity to travel back in time and experience history first-hand. The sister ship of the Titanic, initially designed as a luxury ocean liner, the Britannic was converted into a hospital ship during World War I. During service, on November 21, 1916, the Britannic sank after hitting a mine, but thanks to a quick evacuation, most of the crew and passengers were saved. This model pays tribute to this legendary ship, which measured 269.06 meters long and 29 meters wide, and its deck hosted wounded soldiers and medical personnel. Built from 636 COBI construction blocks the H.M.H.S. Britannic is 38.5cm long and 12cm high in a scale of 1:700.
