I have wanted to build the Victory for severial years and until now settled on this version as mfg.d by Constructo. The kit itself is nice for the price, but is not as detailed as the high end versions available on the market. I started the kit the last week of Nov. 2011. So w/o further ado, may I present my build of the HMS Victory. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

It looks to be pretty well built looking at your initial pictures. Are those strips running through the bulkheads going to carry the lower deck guns? if so it might be better to paint them matt black before you glue them in. | ||

I am thinking of adding filler strips to top and bottom as well to box in the areas to help from seeing into the hull thru the gun ports. | ||
