TN RAFFAELLO
ocean liner model
We at ModelShipMaster.com do whatever it takes to
build accurate and beautiful cruise ship models for your beautiful home and
esteemed office. Our models stand grand, projecting
characters. They don't look 'dead' like a plastic
toy or a simple
decorative accessory.
Models might look
similar but when examined closely, they are quite
different. When you search, pay
particular attention to accuracy and construction method. Look for large enough
photos to see if the windows and doors are dark decal
(will peel off eventually) or real cuts. Do the
photos show all angles of the model ship? Your
authentic model not only serves you well but also
will become a valuable heirloom for your children to
remember you by.

Thank you for allowing us to be in your
recollection.
The
Raffaello was generally one of the most beautiful
ships both on the inside and the outside to ever
serve on any route. She provided perfect
service from the very beginning, with her luxurious
and very Italian restaurants, her six swimming
pools, Originally she was also faster than her
sister, probably owing to her slightly longer and
narrower hull. However, when the
Michelangelo's screws and transmission were changed
during her first winter overhaul in January 1966,
she overtook her sister on that front.
The
Raffaello was slightly bigger then her sister (by
only 22 tons.) The times when the ships were
simultaneously travelling on the transatlantic route
were very exciting for the passengers. The two
beauties would pass each other on the sea, passing
each other with combined speed of over 50 knots.
The powerful waves created by a ship shooke the
other one... The captains had them pass each other
as near as was safely possible to get the most from
such occasions.
Together with
TS
Michelangelo model, this TN Raffaello classic ocean
liner ship model is displayed on the
CMIT-Europe's
board meeting room. The primarily wood model
features:
-
Plank-on-frame hull.
This construction method gives accurate hulls,
as artisans create the frame of the hull exactly
like in drawings. The solid hull method, on the
other hand, employs most guesswork on the degree
of curvature.
- Windows and portholes are cutouts (not black decals),
uniform, and on straight lines. We are not shy
to show the model in large photos. Nothing to hide!
- Note: We didn't hang
the lifeboats on one side of the ship for your
view of the windows and doors and also our davits which
by far the most accurate and beautiful.

Don't be fooled
by some model makers out there who freely claim
their models "museum quality" or even "true
museum quality". Their ships are wrong on many
counts. The hull is horrible. Some parts are
oversized yet other undersized. Plenty are
wrong; Many are missing. Go here to learn

"Hello Frank, yes it's a
beautiful model, my compliments; just one remark, I
would have liked seeing the Italian merchant marine flag
flying instead of a naked mast… George"
