    Which is the best Victory?

    in Wood ship model kits

    Posted

    The HMS Victory has been on my bucket list for years. I think I have finally accumulated enough skills to attempt it. The question is - which kit version is the best? By this I mean - which has the best fittings, the best instructions, the most historically accurate, and the one which will come together with the least amount of pain? 

     

    The last time I looked, there were HMS Victory kits from: 

     

    - Caldercraft / Jotika

    - Mamoli

    - Corel

    - Artesania Latina

    - Billings

     

    I am leaning towards the Caldercraft version - I have seen many build logs on MSW, I have downloaded the instructions, and the company does seem to be very supportive. 

     

    Any opinions? 

     

    (I did a search for Victory and there were 6 pages of results. I looked through every page, and have read at least a dozen build logs!)

    Do you know which link has the instruction manuals of Artesania Latina 1/84 HMS Victory model ?

    USS Constitution by Hipexec - FINISHED - Constructo - 1:82

    in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1751 - 1800

    While I'm waiting for my trim to dry, I mounted the bowsprit and keel skeg and keel trim. I had pre-fit all these parts months ago when I was planking the hull, so it was just a matter of pinning and gluing. Constucto wanted me to put a blond keel trim on, but I like the matching Sapele that goes with the planks.

    Hi! I mised instruction manual book .Do you know pdf formatted instruction file of this book?

    Thanks
