This unique 1/72 scale cross-section 'full kit' of Admiral Nelson's flagship show's a slice of life on board the premier warship of the Georgian era, and is based on authoritative drawings and reference photographs of the real HMS Victory, to which special access for this project was granted by the Royal Navy.
The section spans the hold, orlop, three gun decks and cockpit/quarterdeck, and includes accurately modelled rib frames showing how these were built up.
Kit Content:
● Interior and exterior hull planking
● Decking, wooden gratings, companionway ladders & pump well
● Stub mast, chainwales, photo-etched brass grates & hammock cranes
● Die-cast metal chain pumps & elm-tree pumps
● Ship's ballast & die-cast metal Entry port canopies
● Provison barrels, Shot lockers & Cannonballs
● Four die-cast metal 32-pounder cannon with wooden gun carriages
● Four die-cast metal 12-pounder cannon with wooden gun carriages
● Gunners tools, Storage chests & Hammock netting
● Hammocks & mess tables
● Wooden buckets & Pillars
● Gun rigging ropes & tackle
Also includes a display stand and brass photo-etched HMS Victory nameplate.
Overall model dimensions: 325mm high (inc stub mast), 220mm wide, 87.5mm deep.
You can construct the cross-section as a natural wood finish, or finish with woodstain and paint to reflect its period colours (paint not included).
The pump well has an 'open view' section.
You also have the option to depict a 'day or night' crew quarters.
The assembly guide download contains clear, step-by-step instructions, accompanied by detailed photos and templates, to make building your model as easy as possible.

This is one kit I’ve always fancied having a go at. Totally different from any thing I’ve done before, but I’m so glad I took the plunge and the kit looks superb.

Having built this kit myself, I really liked the finished article. Making each rib and laying out the decks was different to your normal kits.
You won't regret buying this and if you have already built the HMS Victory ship kit then this is a great complimentary model to sit alongside it.
