VICTORY WOODEN MODEL SHIP KIT 1:200 500 MM LONG
HMS Victory stands
today as the world's oldest commissioned warship. Still manned by Officers and
Ratings of the Royal Navy, the Victory has seen over 220 years of almost
continuous naval service. Best known for her role in the Battle of Trafalgar,
the Victory currently has a dual role as the flagship of the Commander-in-Chief
Naval Home Command and as a living museum to the Georgian navy. Launched in
1765 at Chatham Dockyard, the Victory was commissioned in 1778 and continued in
active service for the next 32 years. In 1812 the Victory was retired from
frontline duty and anchored in Portsmouth Harbour, on the south coast of
England. For the next 110 years the Victory remained at her moorings in
Portsmouth Harbour fulfilling a combination of practical and ceremonial roles.
In 1922, amid fears for her continued survival, the Victory was moved into
Portsmouth's Royal Naval Dockyard and placed in No2 Dry Dock. Work then began
on restoring the Victory to her 'fighting' 1805 condition. The Mantua kit
features the following: A plank on frame hull construction, building plans with
general details, English Instructions, castings, walnut or lime planking,
wooden masts and spars, brass and walnut fittings, etched wood details, rigging
cord and silk flag. All sheet ply sections are laser cut for accuracy. There
are optional extras available to finish detailing this ship if required. This
ship is 500 mm long when completed and is one of the smaller ships in the
Victory range. The length includes the bowsprit.
