    The RMS Queen Mary 2 is the world’s last true ocean liner, purpose-built for regular transatlantic service and engineered to standards far beyond those of conventional cruise ships. Entering service in 2004 for Cunard Line, she was designed specifically to withstand the harsh conditions of the North Atlantic, continuing a lineage of famous Cunard liners that dates back to the 19th century.

    Measuring 1,132 feet (345 meters) in length with a gross tonnage of approximately 149,000, Queen Mary 2 was the largest passenger ship ever constructed at the time of her launch. Her hull features increased structural strength, a deeper draft, and a reinforced bow optimized for sustained high-speed operation in open ocean. Propulsion is provided by a combined diesel-electric and gas turbine (CODAG) system driving four azimuthing podded propulsors, delivering a service speed of around 26 knots.

    Unlike modern cruise ships, Queen Mary 2 retains classic ocean liner proportions, including a longer hull form and a more vertical bow profile. Today, she remains the flagship of Cunard’s fleet and the only vessel still offering scheduled transatlantic crossings between Southampton and New York, preserving a historic mode of ocean travel through modern engineering.

    Bancroft’s stunning 1/200 scale model of this majestic vessel is not only perfect for display, the realistic brushless-powered propulsors and bow thruster system delivers impressive performance and maneuverability. When combined with her multitude of scale details, the Bancroft Queen Mary 2 is a model that delivers a magnificent presence on any suitable pond or lake, while Motion RC’s industry-leading product support and customer service ensures a modeling experience like no other.
    Crafted By Hand, Not Machines

    Bancroft ship models are created by skilled artisans that devote hundreds of hours to the fabrication of these museum-quality replicas.
    Stunning Scale Realism

    Every detail of the 1:1 scale Cunard ocean Liner has been painstakingly recreated in Bancroft’s 1/200 scale version. Foredeck sports courts, swimming pools, hot tubs, deck balconies and other details allow for pleasurable scale cruising.
    Brushless Propulsors

    The propulsion and steering system of the QM2 is faithfully replicated using rotating pods with brushless motors for precise control. When combined with the bow thruster system, the QM2 can maneuver sideways into the tightest birth or pier!
    Take A Dip

    The aft deck swimming pool provides passenger comfort, while the hand-fabricated metal ladders and railings provide an exquisite level of scale realism.
    Realistic Bow

    The bulbous bow shape of the QM2 reduces drag and improves speed, efficiency, and passenger comfort. The Bancroft QM2 faithfully replicates this feature found on the real ship.
    Man the Lifeboats!

    The complete array of safety equipment found on the 1:1 scale QM2 is replicated on the Bancroft 1/200 scale version.

    Bancroft model boats are molded and hand finished using very intricate details and parts including metal, wood, plastic, and fiberglass. Because of their hand made nature, minor imperfections in the fiberglass, metalwork, or painting may exist. These potential imperfections will not affect the seaworthiness of the vessel or the overall scale boating experience. Bancroft scale RC boats are fragile so care should be taken when moving or transporting your model.

    Some of the electronics in this Bancroft boat, including the Battery, ESC, Motor, and Receiver, are NOT intended to get wet; they are NOT water resistant. If any of these electronic components get wet and you attempt to operate your model, the water can cause an electrical short-circuit and void your warranty. In the rare instance that you get water inside your vessel, you should drain the water completely and allow all electronics to fully dry before attempting to operate your model.
