Sapper Posted January 16, 2024 #1 Posted January 16, 2024 My research in these forums leads me to understand that a "top of range" HMS Victory kit is one from Caldercraft. The kit from Panart however is half the price and more within my price range (although still relatively expensive). What are the differences between these two kits that would justify the extra cost? Are there any additions or modifications to the Panart kit that I might consider to "upgrade" it to a better quality build without forking out double the price for the Caldercraft kit?
JeffT Posted January 16, 2024 #2 Posted January 16, 2024 My personal choice would be the Caldercraft but the Panart is not a bad option. mtaylor 1 Jeff In progress: Medway Longboat 1742 - Syren Ship Model Company -1/2" scale USS Constitution - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76 HMS Granado - CAF Model - 1:48 HMS Sphinx - Vanguard
Marco_van_H Posted January 31, 2024 #3 Posted January 31, 2024 If you decide on the Caldercraft version (I did, and very much recommend it), there is a very useful build report of the prototype: http://www.jotika-ltd.com/Pages/1024768/Victory_Front.htm mtaylor 1
