OcCre HMS Victory – licensed expert model of Nelson’s flagship at Trafalgar
OcCre HMS Victory is a wooden model kit in 1/87 scale of the ship of the line from which Admiral Nelson commanded the fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805. Launched at Chatham in 1765, Victory carried 104 guns on three gun decks and is today the oldest warship in the world still in commission, on display in dry dock in Portsmouth. The model is officially licensed by the National Museum of the Royal Navy.
For retailers, HMS Victory is a clear flagship model within ship modelling. As one of the most famous sailing ships in history, it is easy to recommend to experienced modellers and collectors looking for a true showpiece project. It works as the next step for customers who have already built one or more advanced OcCre kits and offers strong add-on potential for paints, tools, glue and display solutions.
With 5,388 parts and an estimated build time of around 1,000 hours, HMS Victory is a long-term project at OcCre’s highest difficulty level. Completed, the model measures 1,172 mm in length and 785 mm in height, making it an eye-catching display piece in store and an impressive presentation online. Laser-cut parts, sewn cotton sails, photo-etched brass and zamak details and video tutorials covering the complete build give the customer a complete and well-documented expert project.
