Dave Alderman's HMS Victory

[David-372540]

I'm just starting back into modelling again my therapist suggested it to help improve the rheumatoid in my hands. I think starting with HMS Victory is slightly ambitious, but I have noticed the colour scheme is poorly represented and no colour scheme in box not like the old days, has anyone any suggestions where I can find a painting scheme for the model.

Dave, why not carry out a quick search on the Internet. You'll find loads of pictures like this one. The internet is a great source for such information.

If can even search for specific elements ....eg: Victory's boat

Let us know if there is anything we can help with.
