I am new to subscribing to the lord nelson and I would like to find out if any one registers there issues or if you go with the free postage. I did ask if they go missing in the post would Deagostini replace and they said after an investigation, if the post office is to blame,they would replace. I post the orders for my business out daily and have no trouble with the post office but I was just wondering.

Hi Debbielee Welcome to the forum, the best info what you can get in regards with your Victory. My magazine’s got lost in the post a few months ago, Jacklin replaced it without any cost. Maybe this will answer your question. Albatross, build in 1982 from plans.
Hms Bounty, build in 1987 from plans.
Duyfken,build in 1991 from plans
Oosterland, build in 1998 from plans
2010 Hms Victory kit from Deagostini
In the meantime.

Pleasure Debbielee. PS. I have to admit that I'm pretty fed-up with the subscription model as there seems to be no fixed dispatch date. As soon as I've got some time I'm going to see if my local CNA can keep the parts for me to collect weekly.

Hi Debbielee
Welcome to the RSA gang.
I have subscribed from the beginning (Sept 2010) without any real delivery problems the deliveries are normally the first week of the month.
I do not know how problems like we are having with incorrect parts being provide (part 31) will be handled by CNA.

Hi Guys Newbie on the block. This is my first wood build, I am used to the plastic models. Built a number of fighter planes and ships of various scales. As far the post office goes, have not had any problems although jacklin is out of stock on a number of occassions with certain issues but normally receive them on the following delivery. Happy building Rgds, Hans
