VICTORY comparisons
Posted by attila1@earthlink.net on Monday, May 16, 2016 2:29 PM

There use to be a web site that compared six or seven different

Victory kits. I had it but now I don't. Does anyone know of it?

Can you give it to me please?

Thanks much,

Jeff

You may be thinking of the website that, as I recall, was called "Victory Models," or something like that. It was run by a fine Belgian gentleman who also participated in this Forum; his Forum name was michelvrtg. Unfortunately he vanished from the Forum several years ago, and the website, so far as I can tell, no longer exists.

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.

Thank-you very much for the answer! After my hard drive crash

I couldn't find it anywhere. It was a very good site and hopefully

he is still around.

Also check out the Pete Coleman Airfix-Heller Victory website.

I've built or am building two. The Heller which needs no description, and the small scale Revell which is a fine model also.

I personally wouldn't take on a big wood Victory.

There have been a lot of really fine diorama models of the ship, like the Shep Paine ones and the one Dafi is doing.

I'm an old model railroader and I'm of the opinion that a larger scale model of a smaller subject, say a 32 pounder in action with gun crew, is a fine thing.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
