A first-rate ship of the line, she carried 104 guns across three decks and served for decades with the Royal Navy. HMS Victory is best remembered as Admiral Horatio Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805, where the British fleet defeated the combined French and Spanish fleets. Nelson was fatally wounded during the battle, but the victory helped cement Britain's naval supremacy. HMS Victory survives today at Portsmouth and remains the world's oldest commissioned warship.   Paints and glue are required to complete this model kit. Not included. Available separately.
