The person who posted these pictures on another forum, where I grabbed them from, had done some digging and found an American shop advertising it at US$179.95. Not cheap, but I have little doubt one will end up in my stash

For fans of ''red alert'' a 1/35th Grizzly tank , looks like it is a click together ''transformer'' version.

Anyone fancy a 1/87 HMS Victory?

Yeah, that too.

I hadn't done my research on the AMP 1/48 Supermarine S.6B - It is actually the fourth Schneider Tropy Series Model
( although the Piaggio never actually flew )

Go to bed Dave!
I bought that amp S5 a few years ago because I couldn't find an S6 :thinking:
Nice to see they added the S6 :thumb2:

I actually had been in bed, - but a bad cramp woke me up - so I made a cuppa & did a little small hours browsing, whilst things settled down - back to the scratcher at half past three!

Nope!
Nice video -
Will have a look Steve...but a grand plus..... I've had a company car for several years and when I got it I sold my 12 year old but low mileage and well looked after car for £500.....
Seems expensive but I suppose it's comparable to some of those part-works, and at least you get all the parts at the same time. Too rich for me though.

Just been Looking at wood models of HMS Victory - Made by Occre, Billings, Mantua, Caldercraft, Corel, Sergal, Manoli, Panart............
Scales 1/72, 1/75, 1/78, 1/87, 1/98, 1/100, 1/315, 1/325
Prices £1,200 to £52
This doesn't include the cross section models!
The question is, of all the models £500+ ( over 7 ) how are you supposed to choose which is best? I can't think that any one person could have made all of them to do a meaningful ranking. A lot of money to find out! With the skill level needed to even think about making one, I don't suppose it really matters!
I made a couple of plank on frame models last century ( only corvette/brig size ), and the commitment for even the small models was too much for me - so what it must be for HMS Victory is daunting.!!!!!
One odd thing that struck me - why the assortment of scales? 1/72 /1/75 /1/78 are so close, as to be identical without side by side comparison. My cynical side says that the makers don't want to be accused of directly copying a rivals parts!

Oddly, an Ausf. A. I’m sure there were /8s of those, but it’s rather limited in timeframe.
