I think it looks quite nice though I would've preferred the bottom sails fully unfurled and the gun ports open.   It's nice to have some injection sails instead of the those awful vacform things (at least I hope they're injection plastic anyway).

That is a ridiculously small scale for a sailing ship kit...though I admit some might say the same of even 1:150. The copper plates look like stacks of gold bricks & those injection-molded furled sails just look...odd...like they were done by someone who has never even seen drapes. Besides, Victory has been done in tiny scales before; Revell is just dithering here. This kit will be met by all the enthusiasm it deserves & the bean-counters will conclude that sailing ship kits just don't sell. Sigh.

This twitter thread shows what you can do with even a relatively simple kit like the Revell HMS Victory in 1/450....

 

Check out the build thread and see what the guy did with this kit... amazing! Thread begins on/about October 31, 2018.DuM5oa1VAAEJATj.jpg

 

Enjoy!
