This
vent is not provided in the kit.
There
are two possible options for this vent. An early Olympic
photo shows a curl vent, while a later Olympic photo shows
the curl vent replaced by a new round topped vent with
a motor.
It
is unclear which one the Titanic but the round topped
vent is favored based on the IOW photo in 'Discovery of
the Titanic'.
Modeler's
choice.
