Looking for HMS victory plans plans

[michael Bates 1Participant @michaelbates1]

Hi all, I am looking for some HMS victory plans but have not been successful in doing so. I would like to build an RC version

Any help would be a great appreciation.

Thankyou in advance.

There is lots of information about the ship online with detail drawings, books etc.

The Amati kit plans can apparently be used to scratch build a model of HMS Victory.

Some idea of the complexity of the kit version can be seen here:

In itself this would be a very complex project requiring plenty of previous experience.

To build a radio controlled working model would be very ambitious indeed.

What were you expecting?

I once bought a superb set of HMS Victory plans from The Historic Dockyard at Portsmouth but that was a long time ago so I cannot guarantee that they still do them. It must be worth a phone call though.

Hi Micheal,

I would recommend 2 books which contain drawings of the fullsize ship :-

The Anatomy of Nelson's Ships – by C. Nepean Longridge first issue 1955

Anatomy of the Ship – The 100-gun ship Victory – by John McKay 1987

As others have said a complex project to build in detail, but as a stand off scale version, I'd PM Ashley Needham he has successfully built RC square rigger HMS London, for tips etc.

Regards Ray
