A few questions about the new AL HMS Victory

[Daniel M]

Hi there everyone!

 

I have a few questions about the new HMS Victory from Artesania Latina

 

1. What's the quality of this kit?
   This would be my first AL kit so I don't have any experience with them but for this price I assume that the quality will be rather high
2. How accurate/oversimplified is this kit?
   It would also be my first Victory model so I haven't done much research on her yet other than buying John McKay's book.
   In the promotional videos I noticed that there are deck beams but not the carlings, just a smooth ceiling. It won't be a big issue adding these but if they are already missing what else is? Comparing it to photos of the real ship there are little details missing but I guess that's just because of the scale

 

It is a great kit even if there are a few details missing but before I commit to this and invest a lot of time and money I want to know what I get out of the box.

 

Thanks for your answers in advance

It's a little early for anyone to answer your questions.  The kit was just released, and I haven't seen that anyone here has acquired one.

Check out AL’s YouTube channel, there is an unboxing video and at last count 14 assembly tutorial videos, with more being added, it will give you a good idea of what you will get.
