These do look great but will they interfere with any parts of the standard build as we progress? I wouldn't want to fit them only to find that later in the build they cause an obstruction. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

MWG wrote:The Item is between £20 and £30 the one they produce for their Vessel Agamegnan maybe the best bet it is 1/64 scale but will go round our Victorys 10mm main mast.
I am going to visit this company next week, they are quiet close to Stafford If I could arrange for Joktika to tool up a set for our Victory they would need at least 50 pieces committed and the price would be no more than £15 and it would be in our scale, please indicate if you would buy such an item by sending a PM to me thank you PM on its way to order two sets. A great enchancement. Thanks  First Build HMS Victory and HMS Endeavour Also Krick steam boat "Victoria" Cheers Ivan (Ordinary Seaman) http://www.old-glossop.com

Hi Crew, but according to Anatomy of the ship [page's 88 & 89] they were fitted to the formast and the main mast so you will need 2 for each Victory.
Mind you they arn't shown in the pricey McGowan, Construction, Career and restoration
So take your pick 1, 2 or none
