History:
The first class ship HMS Victory was launched on May
7, 1765. It played an important part in the English fleet from 1778
to 1812, and built its reputation in the important battles at Ushant
(1781) and San Vicente (1797). But it was October 21, 1805 at the
Cape of Trafalgar where, under the command of Admiral Nelson, this
fabulous ship brought victory to the English fleet over the Spanish
French armada. The battle of Trafalgar, whose bicentenary was October
21, 2005, marked the climax and supremacy of the Royal Navy when
HMS Victory claimed victory. As a museum since 1992, the Victory
can be seen and admired in the Royal Navy port in Portsmouth, England.
Features:
Brass hardware such as eyebolts, stanchions, rings and
hinges. Highly detailed bow and stern parts. Detailed construction
methods allow modeler to form the hull by attaching planking strakes
to the false keel and frames. Modeler will want to file and sand
the whole hull until you have a compact and smooth surface. Also,
each mast and yard arm are hand sanded to the correct shape. All
deck accessories must be built, painted or stained for added realism.
Taking the time to do the detail work will give a truly realistic
boat model and a very rewarding building experience for the modeler.
Includes:
All fittings, riggings, deck and hull planking strakes,
masts, bowsprit, brass stern moldings, spools of rigging thread,
pre-sewn sails, decal sheet, die-cut sheet showing all die-cut parts
and photo illustrated instruction manual.
