airfixpeter Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 This is my fourth try at building the victory and I have finally succeeded the wooden decks are a set of scaledecks. I built her with gun ports both open and closed as I couldn't face all the guns. 26 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnoldAmbrose Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Gidday, that's a beautiful model. I like the idea of guns out on one side, ports closed on the other. It allows viewing from either perspective. Nice job with the rigging, too. Very well done. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nheather Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Great build - fantastic ship. Interesting fact, HMS Victory had more firepower (by poundage) then the Allied Force had at the Battle of Waterloo. One picky comment - the ratlines would look better in black (tarred rope). Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Great job on the venerable Airfix Victory. The addition of the wooden deck was a good investment, i have learnt also that there are photo etched sets for the kit out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
