Thanks Vinnie

I did see that article but I was looking for something more applicable to the del prado model. I do have several good books by keith Julier including the Kit Builders manual which is very good. However, these books only tell so much and they are generally about more expensive kits, that’s not say the del Prado wasn’t….. £4.25 for 100 weeks is not cheep. I do have another request of all you kit builders out there; Iv’e been trying to get hold of a book entitled Period model Boat Manual by F.D.Conte. If anyone knows where I can pick up a copy I would be most grateful.

Ian,

Try AbeBooks.co.uk there are several of the book you want on there.

Just type in the authors name where requested and up they pop.

 

Hope this helps

Thanks very much for the name of the book shop you gave me (Abe books.com). I contacted them 3pm one day the book was on my door step the next. Fantastic service and half the price. My only regret was that it was not an up to date edition but packed with info nonetheless.

Regards

Hi Ian,

Glad you got the book you wanted on Abe books, I generally find I can get most of the publications I need off this site, trouble is I tend to buy too much!!!!

Regards

John

 I too purchased the Prado kit of the Victory, and I’m still at it! My problem is planking the hull. The kit instructions suggest planking over the gun ports then cutting them out afterwards, but I have decided to plank up to each gunport. This will probably take forever but time is on the side of the senior citizen. I would be grateful for any tips you could offer. Having seen the photographs of your model, I am more determined to finish it. Many Thanks. TB
