i was just looking at the mantua victory model. heres the pdf manual for it. http://www.cornwallmodel.../manuals/mantua/720.pdf
im sure everyone will agree that that particular model of the victory has laughable quality? i couldnt belive it! might as well be an airfix cheapo plastic kit with parts like that. DEAG keep up good work on this one but please fix the teething issues lol

Hum Looks like I may have to up my standard. I thought the Launch looked substantially better than mine  Might just be my eye sight though!!

This kit is only half the size of our Victory and appreciably cheaper if I remember, so I would not expect the detail. You could of course ruin your eyesight by adding your own. I'm afraid it's horses for courses as usual.

You get what you pay for I suppose. I bought the Mantua Victory (43ins) in 2003 for £186 and cut my teeth on woodwork modelling. I found it a good starting point.
