Oldbaldguy Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Oh my. If this is for real, talk about being utterly tone deaf. Can’t imagine them selling many at all. BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 It’s definitely in fairly poor taste in just my opinion…but what do I know? BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Yeah, definitely in very poor taste. BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggTim Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 The funny thing is, they probably had to have been making it long before the accident occurred, right? LSP_K2, monthebiff, RBrown and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of doubt it. Hardly anyone outside of the deep submersible community had probably heard of it before. Also, it’s apparently 3D printed, so the time to make a finished product is a lot shorter than injection molding. BiggTim and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Owens Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 It seems in poor taste, but I can’t put my finger on exactly why. What’s the difference between modeling the Titan and the Titanic? Human hubris seems to connect both their fates. . . Martinnfb, RBrown and chrish 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Might be a bit too soon, but we all enjoy building models of warplanes responsible for a lot more than a few deaths. Is it just time that makes that okay? Matt chrish, Mark_C and RBrown 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denders Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 They had them at the NATS. Looked to me like they were packaging them and selling pretty quickly. And, NO, I didn’t buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Yeah, a bit weird and possibly tactless............especially if someone decides to make a "diorama". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob MDC Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Totally Wrong at every level, why do companies come out with stuff like this are they that desperate for cash flow. Over the years I have seen a few bad choices for diorama builds, but recently a publication in very poor taste now this if they wanted a subject Piccards "Trieste" as a mainstream kit.
