This Ship:
PKDF= KDF Liner Gustloff

The Model:

Real Ship:

Comparsion:
Length: Width: Height:
Wilhelm Gustloff 208.5 m 23.5 m 17.2 m (promdeck)
PKDF 180.5 m 22.4 m 27.8 m

Conclusion:

The model is made too short and too tall. The different layers of decks and their relevent dimesions are all mismatch. The details of handrails and weather shelter on top of the deck are alomost all missing. The fore deck crane is too skiny and aft deck crane did not show. The life boats are made too small and the davits should be in "C" shape not "L" shape.All deck below prom deck should be windowed not opened. The details of entire aft section if completely wrong and the deck balcony extruded too much.

Notes:
This is a iconic ship with lots photos,drawings and documentation available plus a very tragic stroy,there is more than enough data to take it right. Futhermore this is a luxury cruise ship it is all about good looking,if it is made too dull and rouph you better stay back too merchants. Anyone who try to take the challege and model this ship should take it seriously.Otherwise it just became a disappointment and eyesore.
