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

You have certainly taken on a tough one!
I have a del prado Vic kit but am missing some issues - all I need is scans of the issue instructions as these show the dimensions of the missing parts - the 4 missing instruction issues are 28, 29, 67, 68
Can you help?
I am happy to pay

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
