Kit review 1:84 HMS Victory Trafalgar 1805 – ANATOMY Version - Artesania Latina

[Guenter]

Hi Dominic,🫡

The colour scheme of the HMS Victory is an interesting point of discussion. She has changed colour several times and now she has got her real colour. I can understand that the colour is not to the taste of the general public, as we know HMS Victory as she is anchored in Portsmouth, in yellow/black.

Personally, I think she looks best that way. However, if you want to build a historically accurate model from 1805, you will probably have no choice but to paint her as she is historically specified.

I will probably also paint her in her original colour.

Here is the link to the explanation of the colour scheme:

By the way, the stern lettering of the HMS Victory is also wrong. The font is not correct.

Best regards
