ronald305 Posted February 17, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Hello fellow Victory lovers has anyone built the Mantua/Panart Victory # 782 or 738 either one I have read reviews about almost all the kit companies from the forum some good some bad, but I haven't seen any reviews on this kit, is it a good kit, are the instructions and plans any better or even with other kits. , Reason why is I'm thinking about this kit,It appears to be close to caldercraft/jolika victory but it's way out of my range price wish, I would like to know more about this kit from people that have built it thank you Ronald Edited February 17, 2014 by ronald305 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted February 17, 2014 Share #2 Posted February 17, 2014 Ronald, There's two Mantua Vic builds in the log area. Not sure if it's the same one or not. One builder finished his, but has been online here since the middle of 2013. The other build, I'm not sure about....

NMBROOK Posted February 17, 2014 Share #3 Posted February 17, 2014 Hi Ronald,if you are referring to the Panart Victory at 1/78,I haven't built it myself but I have read about it elsewhere.It is identical to the Sergal model of the same scale,however the Panart model has the copper tiles and the binnacle,otherwise the two kits are an identical product.I am not aware of your level of experience,but I have read from reliable sources this is probably the hardest Victory kit to build on the market today.Just a friendly warning,if you are fairly new to the hobby,I would approach with caution. Kind Regards Nigel Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
