HMS Victory 1:78 Scale

There are other Victory kits on the market, but none comes close in historical accuracy, abundance of detail and ease of assembly. Double plank-on-bulkhead construction features laser cut frames and keel, precision engineered for an exceptional fit. Limewood under-planking is covered by a layer of flexible walnut strips for a smooth and beautiful finish. Masts and yardarms, deadeyes, blocks and gun carriages are walnut.

Each of the four life boats on the main deck is built according to traditional plank-on-frame techniques. Figurehead, bow and stern ornamentation are gilded cast metal.

Stamped brass gun port frames and brass lanterns, silk screened flags and cotton rigging add lifelike detail. Kit includes 104 brass cannon and individual copper plates for the hull. Seven sheets of plans and a new, expanded instruction book take you through every phase of construction. If you want the best, most complete H.M.S. Victory model available anywhere, this is it.

NOTE: Mantua has replaced the photo-etched brass stern with beautifully detailed wood sections.

This is great improvement to this kit, and we think you will agree it is the best one available.

Length 51″ / Height 40″ / Scale 1:78.
