It's not the Aquitania, she was larger and the 1st funnel was closer to the bridge

As others noted, this IS the Mauretania. The giveaway for me - the clusters of white funnels at the base of the Mauritania's funnels. The earlier Lusitania had hinged top funnels, (kinda looked like garbage cans), painted brown The hinged lids could be adjusted by geared screws to open or close as desired.

Lusitania had orange funnels and lasted longer

Lusitania lasted longer? Β I remember Lusitania being torpedoed in WWI and Mauretania lasting until the 1930s.

Not that large -- I'd say about 1/500 scale -- but they've done an excellent job detailing it.

Definetly looks like either Luisitania or Mauretania. The Aquitania had a bit of a different bridge design than the other two...
