Hi, Show,
I'm newbie and working on my first model, but I did my research about "best kit", even wrote a topic about it and have to say that there is no such thing like "best"
If y'are gunning for HMS Victory I'll recommend you Caldercraft version, but you know - the best model is the finished model
A friend of mine bought this kit, yes it's expensive one but it's marvelous!
Excellent quality and very clear/understandable instructions even for a beginner like myself. And the reason that I vouch for Caldercraft version is because of instructions.
If y wondering about the kit I'll advise y to check "build logs" - as many as you can. I'm positive that you will find all answer in logs (works for me)
So, if y still choosing y can take a look on Panart - San Felipe. In my opinion is also a good one
Happy building
Cheers,
Asgard
