HMS Victory by Jake 1948 - Mantua - 1/78

[Jake 1948]

I started this about 30 years ago and I have completed about 75 % of the hull and I have restated to try to complete I will post pictures but this is my first try so they may not be as good as some might expect 

I have a lot of questions the the first of which is:- panart provide brass edging for the gun ports do the expect the lids to be sized to fit inside or are the lids meant to cover the brass edging and thus never can be closed flush with the hull

As you can see I am in the process of getting the hull to the painting stage fortunately my modelling skills have developed over 30 years so whilst it may take sometime expect to get there 

 

I am willing to accept any advice except start again

Hi Jake,

 

Did your Victory kit have laser cut bulkheads or did you have to cut them out with a saw?  I have the old pre- laser cut version and since you mentioned your kit is about 30 years old, I’m trying to guess how old my kit is.

 

Thanks,

Don
