tmj Posted October 31, 2019 #1 Posted October 31, 2019 Any of you folks familiar with this kit and its manufacturer/supplier? I'm liking what I see, up front, however. I'd like to get a few opinions before I 'pull a $250 trigger'. https://www.model-space.com/us/hms-victory-cross-section-model.html Quote "The journey of a thousand miles is only the beginning of a thousand journeys!"

tmj Posted November 1, 2019 Author #2 Posted November 1, 2019 Been doing some research and reading customer reviews.

myxyzptlyk2003 Posted December 26, 2019 #3 Posted December 26, 2019 While I am well aware of deagostini's bad reputation for getting chapters out on time, I decided to take a chance on this kit since it not sent by chapters. Also viewed all the build videos on youtube and was impressed. So I ordered it last week and have just received an email that it has been shipped. I have built kits for decades and am hesitantly hopeful that this one will be worth the effort. Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote
myxyzptlyk2003 Posted January 8, 2020 #4 Posted January 8, 2020 Got the complete kit the other day. Came in a plain cardboard box with many bags of parts. I am guessing the bags correspond to each chapter that are normally sent. No instructions of any sort. Just have to go to their web site and follow those videos which are on youtube. Overall, the quality of the parts appear to be at least as good as you get in many other kits. Will start this one after I am finished with my Vanguard model Alert. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote
