What is making this build so very difficult is that the box mailed from China did not have the instruction sheets in it. So everything is a guess based on photos of the real thing and of professional models of the Victory. It is an all-wood kit. Only the gun barrels are brass. The kit comes from China's Aliexpress.com and costs about $30.
Here you will find photographs of my models. These are plastic, resin, metal and wood. I build everything from nuclear weapons to ancient sail boats. I build in all scales. Aircraft, trains, ships, tanks, cars, missiles, rockets, monsters, buildings, whatever! If a kit strikes my fancy, I will build it. Everything can be fun.
