I recently bought this ship kit (all 120 issues) and it had another 18 issues which the original buyer was not sure why the subscription kept going and just cancelled it.
I found that this was for a cross section (another 30 issues). I am now looking for Issues 139 - 150. I tried the web links but they are deleted.

Does anyone have them, or know who I could contact to find out if copies are available?

Thanks

Robert
 
Just a shot in the dark for you, sometimes if you google search the issue and add .PDF at the end of the search there is more often than not some form of library that people have put up over the years. I found it thru searching a particular woodworking plan and noted there were many different libraries to available, and most were free. It's worth a poke around out there anyway.

Good luck

Hi Shaun,
Tried that, no luck unfortunately. Even the D'Agostini site no longer accepts queries as they no longer produce the kit. I will keep searching for the issues and then see about scratch building the pieces
 
I have checked my copies of the X section.. the only thing that might cause you problems are the guns not easy to fabricate the barrels. Artesania make a 1/84 Victory. Maybe they could help you with barrels the rest seems to be strips and deck supports both easily sorted
The other alternative is to use the parts you have got to sort out any problems with your full build

Hi, I have the instructions in PDF, it represents 146 pages and the file is 103 MB. I can send it if necessary.

Righto, i have checked, i have the parts, but no extras, the extras i do have are 108-120.
Attached photo is the parts 139-150.
There maybe a way to use these as templates to scratch build these parts.
And if your in melbourne aust, theres a bloke who runs Models and hobbies in boronia who actually did a work stint on the Victory and he may still have some of the authentic (yellow stuff) Victory paint leftover from when he built his model.

Yes, I am in Melbourne, East Bentleigh. At least you have them, that is a start. The laser cut pieces I could do from scratch, need a photo of them at actual size. I found a place here that will laser cut, will need to confirm with them what file format they require too. Then will need to confirm the dimensions of the pieces in the other packs. I can make, buy as needed. Will need to know quantities of those items too. Pity you are not in Melbourne as I would gladly drop in and do all the measurements, counting, etc. But there is certainly no hurry.

The other option is - I now have duplicates of Issues 121 - 138 if YOU are short and the associated parts.

Luckily i am in melb, endeavour hills to be precise and yeah we can organise a meet n greet to measure up.
I started collecting the Victory from 108, during the production run for Sovereign of the seas, i figured i could alway get the missing parts later, on back order, oh how wrong was I.
I had to hunt on ebay, and i managed to find a full set 1-120, downside is the magazines are in german.. but thats fine as i downloaded the

english instructions.

I have the same issue and talking to the suppliers brought no joy at all, in fact I found them absolutely rude and not interested in supplying anything at all.
