Trumpeter 1/200 Scale HMT Olympic British Troop Ship Model Kit

HMT Olympic was a British ocean liner and lead ship of the Olympic-class, which included Titanic and Britannic, built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast for the White Star Line. Launched in 1910, Olympic served as a passenger ship during peacetime and as a troop transport during World War I, gaining the designation "HMT" (Hired Military Transport, number 2810) and the nickname "Old Reliable."

While serving in the war Olympic was painted in a striking dazzle camouflage scheme, invented by British artist Norman Wilkinson, designed to confuse enemy submarines about its speed and direction by disrupting its appearance.

Unlike its sister ships Olympic had a successful career, retiring in 1935 before being scrapped. The Olympic Restaurant at The White Swan, Alnwick, Northumberland, is still furnished with original panelling, mirrors, ceiling and stained glass salvaged from the liner at auction in 1935.
