    Hi Dan Just to let you know that I have managed to get the missing issues - mainly from Spode Collectables, who were very helpful. Looking at details of the specs of other kit manufacturers of the Victory, I can see why people are scathing about the del prado version. Anyway, many thanks for your offer of help Kind regards Petercrane

    Danny, Many thanks for your reply. There is no hurry as there is plenty to do before I get there. The main part missing is on Issue 28 or 29, and is the second to last frame. I think the other pieces on these two issues are strip, which I can replace. Also if I cannot get the dimensions of the missing frame, I should be able to calculate to from the frames either side. But if you have the instruction sheets from these issues it would be helpful to know what parts were issued with issues 28, 29, 67 and 68. I have learned a lot from following your log - many thanks. The main point being not to trust the del Prado design. I have ordered the book from the HMS Victory museum which, with some 200 photos, should be helpful Peter

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
