The firm has launched two model ships to mark the anniversary of the sinking of the ship.

Airfix has recreated a 630mm model of the RMS Titanic (670mm in length, scale 1:400) to commemorate the event. Available now for £49.99, the Titanic 100th Anniversary Gift Set comes with 381 pieces, Humbrol paints, adhesive and brushes to complete the model.

Additionally, a smaller model (385mm in length, scale 1:700) is available for £24.99, complete with 141 parts and Humbrol paints, adhesive and brushes.

Darrell Burge, Airfix marketing manager, commented: "The RMS Titanic sets are a fantastic way to own a piece of history, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer two beautiful replica models to be collected, built and painted."
