On a light hearted note. When I went to visit HMS Victory a few years ago i was leaning on one of the 32pounder cannons and the tour guide said to me "be careful, it's made of fibreglass"! He also said that none of the shot on board Victory is original because the French have the originals and won't give them back. Dave H

Still trying to get my eyesight back to normal after doing the rear of the undercarriage.  It's a fantastic kit up to now, although I did have a few probs with rear fuselage. Dave H

Thats interesting snowtiger, seems like they have more of the victory in her trafalgar state than us. But at least they have some balls now lol!!
