ukmodeller Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Hi Everyone This is the Revell 1/225 HMS Victory that I made quite a while ago which was all hand painted as I hadn't discovered airbrushes at the time. Oh how I missed out! One of the few builds that I did not add lights to. Hope you like it and thanks for viewing. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul E Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 It is nice to see another HMS Victory especially not with the familiar Checkerboard scheme. I read that Nelson introduced it on Victory, the standard at the time being ochre and black bands like your superb model. The checkerboard scheme subsequently became the Royal Navy standard after 1805 in honour of Nelson. We'll done . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see areas that I could have improved on and it may be nice, in the future, to do this kit again using an airbrush instead. This is how I remember the ship (though I wasn't actually there at the time) so I understand what you were saying about the paint scheme and agree with you.
