Vintage Classics Set - A04201V HMS Victorious - Plastic Model Ship Kits for Adults & Children 8+, Set Includes 94 Pieces - 1:600 Scale Model Ship Set

Great product

A tricky build in places but it’s Belfast… a quality history and a worthy model. Worth seeing in the flesh too, on the Thames.

Interesting model with just the right level of detail to make it entertaining. As is usual in this brand, the quality of the materials allows you to customize some of the finishes, which is appreciated among enthusiasts of this hobby.

Item as described. Our nephew had loads of fun building this.

Every thing as stated and on time

I get that this kit is from the Airfix Vintage Classic's series (kit from 1966) but come on Airfix surely these kits can be given some kind of an update. With the amount of flash on the parts and the barely readable part numbers on the sprues I thought I'd been transported back to 1969 and was building Ark Royal for the first time again.

Chatting with father-in-law and he mentioned how he'd been round both nearby model shops looking for this model as he'd damaged the build beyond repair when he had kit some years ago. He'd expected to walk in and take one from a shelf but had no luck, so would forget trying to find one. He's not an internet user, not even comfortable using the phone, while he chatted I bought one from Amazon and told him kit would be delivered next day, which amazed and delighted him. He started building straight away and is having great time building this ship to go with his many others.

You know what you get with Airfix Vintage range and in this case a kit with a mould dating back to 1966. So yes, you might require a sanding pad, craft knife, filler and some clamps, and experienced modellers will have these things. But it is a hugely satisfying little project to do. It comes with tiny Swordfish and Fairey Fulmar planes which add interest to the deck and with the use of primer paints up really well.
