HMS Victory Revell 1/146

Pantherman said:

I kinda got pushed into this build (thanks Downtime) so it's a very old kit, 1973 I think.

This was given to me by a friend after a clear out of his garage, he had it ages and never opened the box. He got it from a market many years ago.

So having opened the box we have a few challenges to sort. No instructions, looks like someone has cut away a few bits which I hope are in the box but I will need to check.

The rigging nets supplied have been folded badly and are a mess so they will need flattening.

Get the feeling this will be a challenge but having said that I'm weirdly looking forward to building it. Pantherman

Looks like a very intricate build. Should be great to see when you eventually finish. Revell made some of the best kits.

So I managed to find a download of the destructions, printed and now ready to go.

After a quick look through I'm pretty sure that I have all the parts.

The stand is glued the wrong way round so I will have to sort that but not a problem. Pantherman

I've been itching to do a proper sailing ship model with all the rigging. Might have to dust off the 1/72 Black Pearl kit

Just got to build the ship and I'm done. Pantherman

Yes, cannons can be a pain. Being in one piece makes for some painting fun. Time to hone some wood carving skills to replace the lost ones.
