Darius359au Posted February 21 Share #1 Posted February 21 (edited) The new AL Victory cross section has finally been released here in Australia and found I one for a decent price so grabbed it while it was in stock! Received it today and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the quality and and amount of materials in the box ,reminded me of when I got my victory models Pegasus with whats in there! All the wood is bundled and clearly labeled with sizes , same as the thread for ropes and all the laser cut parts are clearly numbered and labeled! I'm not going to start straight away as I want to get Pegasus up to the rigging stage or at least made the masts and yards ,I thought I would post this so people can see whats in the box if their thinking about getting the kit! now for the photo bump😎🤣 Edit - I forgot ,there's also a colour parts sheet as well Edit 2 -One thing I will say is this kit is Cheaper than the Corel cross section , larger scale and miles in front on quality and detail!

Gregory Posted February 22 Share #2 Posted February 22 That does look like a very nice kit, with a lot of detail due to the new techology available such as laser cutting and PE. However , I would really like to see some more realistic columns instead of those generic balusters that have been around for 40 years and part of innumerable kits from any number of kit manufacturers. mtaylor, JeffT, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote “Indecision may or may not be my problem.” ― Jimmy Buffett Current builds: Rattlesnake (Scratch From MS Plans On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I missed the column part ,in the instruction video's ,for the large turned deck support one's you add square pieces to the top and bottom of them so they end up looking pretty close to the real ones!
