I was able to find another Deagostini HMS Victory - started but not finished. I have two unfinished kits. I am slowly starting to go thru the materials and packs that are included, but know I am missing some parts from both kits.

Three questions - 1) is there a way to buy individual packs of the Victory from Deagostini I have seen individual packs on
eBay but they have been non-English and I am in the states.

2) I can't find anything in what I have but are there plans that give the dimensions or a 1:1 pictures of the
rib frames and other parts that I may be missing so that I can make some of the missing pieces

3) while I would like to give deagostini my business- but can't get my wife to ok buying another 1200
model from here. you who have experience with this model - what
would be the negatives of purchasing the AL kit itself which I can get for around 500 and then I could
use those parts to create what I don't have. Then conceivably, I would have two nice ships. Or is that
a bad idea. I don't know if I have the ability but I really like this ship.


Thanks in advance and any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

1 I tried purchasing some a week or so ago and customer services said they had nothing in stock from 1 to 100 and didn't know when they would be replenished. It may be the admins here know something they don't, CS they use are not the best in the world.

If you are only interested in the instructions and not the magazine, there is a full set of videos here and a full set of instructions here in pdf format (Click The build button.

2 There are only plans for the masts and yards that I am aware off.

3 There is no down side if that's what you want to do, other than the cost. The kit is still for sale by DeAg so they must have the packs. See what the admins or Tom has to say first.

Hi Roger,

Vic backissues with mags are no longer avail.

Try sending an email to internationalshipping@model-space.co.uk who may be able to assist with individual issue parts packs, you should provide a list of which issues you need.

It is not possible to order individual items from issue packs.

There are no 1:1 plans of the Vic except for the masts

Regards

Alan
