This is the Revell 1/225 scale HMS Victory. I built it out of the box. There was a date of 1959 on the upper surface of the quarterdeck. Not that bad a build for such an old kit.

Nice job Grant,

That is a mugging down memory lane, remember building that many years ago.

Cheers

Hi Grant,

That is one awesome Victory, well done!

I visited HMS Victory in Portsmouth years ago, remember how proud the Royal Navy sailor giving the tour was of his ship. He gave the history of the ship, and I was amazed to learn that her last battle star was in 1940 when she was hit by a small bomb during the Blitz!

Anyway, your rendition of the classic Revell kit does her justice.
