Well, I think, that’s all about the plastic kits of HMS Victory, I do not think, that I’ll find a different model, there are still the 1/500 Lindberg model (but it must be a reissue of one of the models of the picture) and the hypothetical old UPC model.
Please, do not forget me, if you can find a different plastic kit of HMS Victory, send me some pictures, I can even buy it at a reasonable price.
I believe I found one more for your collection I do not know thw scale but here is the ebay link. It’s made by Pyro. I thinks it’s smaller than the Airfix 1/600, but not sure.
Well, I am now busy with the measurements. The Airfix “1/180” (scale is 1/171) seems to be accurate, but I could not compare the size of the 1/100 Heller and the 1/146 Revell models yet. I’ll post some drawings with the various scales in my website.

Is the caption for #5 correct? Is it Lindberg 1/400/Revell 1/225?
Wow, I appreciate all of the direct comparisons - great job. Soooooo what is you philosophy; build a smaller (read ‘less expensive’) HMS Victory to work out all of the bugs and plan the major build, or dive right in and save the small fry for a slow weekend??
BTW if you want to see a truly expert ,spectacular ,phenominal build of the Heller/Airfix 1/100 HMS Victory (and Soliel Royal among others )— modelversium.de. Dont be turned off by the German language it is evidently a small universe of unbelivably talented builders harassing each other in the friendliest possible way.
Again great job and I’m working on the Revell 1/96 USS United States to get tuned up for my own Victory
In case you haven’t seen it yet, there is also an entire forum dedicated to the Victory. I just found it the other day. They also do other sailing ships. It is the “The Airfix / Heller 1:100th HMS Victory Modellers Forum (Includes Other Ships From The Age Of Sail)”, and here is a link.
It is an excellent site. I just joined earlier this week. The site has lots of tips, data, etc… on the different build stages, including Out of the Box building.
