Thanks for the update, suspected it may be Victory they were releasing. I will be honest, I think they will struggle to sell 999 kits at nearly 1400 Euros a time. I may change my mind when I see better pictures but at the moment I am thinking why did they style the model like that? Blank canvas, 1400 Euro price point, would have expected something other than this.
Agree with you Nigel. There’s too many Victory kits on the market.
Pictures presented are poor and scares as it is most of the time with European brands and occasionally with Chinese (these are doing a better job with advertising). I wonder why the pictures are always so bad with European brands? Are they trying to hide the problems with their kits? Are they trying to save on advertising? This is shooting themselves in the foot. Just hire some young professionals. They will promote their product for them per today's requirements in no time. This kit is may be a masterpiece of craftsmanship but no-one will know as they have no idea how to present a new kit.

A French ship would be nice. Between the British and the Spanish, we monopolize everything.
Referring to ships that participated in the Battle of Cape Trafalgar. I don't think there is any kit from a French ship. Although I may be wrong.

...as one sits on my shelf awaiting it's turn on the bench. I did the 1:93 main mast cross section, which suckered me into buying the full ship at the same scale. It may end up eventually sold off as part of my estate. lolThose and the "Constitution".
I think the same, $1400 euros it is a lot of money and here in USA is going to be more money, with that money I can buy three o four kits.
I am waiting for the Amati Victory.
Agreed, I have an unfinished hull(50% of gun ports cut) of the Corel Victory. A very poor kit. I now have a Panart 1:78 kit not yet started, will I get around to her? I also bought Sergal Cutty Sark, but dismissed the build & sold it.
It won't fit in your house...
If it's anything like their Bismarck model, for sure it will be a challenge to find a spot for it.It won't fit in your house...

Im waiting for Amati Victory too. People think that Deagostini models are worth a lot when assembled, heh. But here at €1,400 the model market will collapse. Did you pay a lot? don't think the model will be worth much either. I don't understand how you can buy a limited model, the same as others on the market.
I am just waiting for a release date. It's been three years that I have been waiting for Amati to release it. I am beginning to think they changed their mind. In addition to being a huge model, apparently it was designed by Chris Watton. I also believe it will be quite expensive.
HMS Victory (prototype) by James H - Amati - 1:64
Well, this one has been a LONG time coming. I mean, this lockdown seems to have lasted a lifetime, so the original notice of Amati's now almost mythical 1:64 HMS Victory seems to have been such a long time ago! A lot of water has passed under the bridge since 2013 when Chris drove to Italy with t...

I have to see Victory on a weekly basis in the Portsmouth dockyard, I don't want her in my living room as well. An odd choice considering the market is swamped with Victorys! I can think of dozens of better (far more attractive) subject ships they could have chosen.
I hear you. But for me I would love to have a Victory in my house so I can have bragging rights. lol
