I was looking around some charity shops in my area yesterday and stumbled upon this beauty 
Looks to me like a 1/72ish scale HMS Victory, however I have no idea which kit this is (if it even is from a kit, or just a custom build) I’d like to finish it however this would be my first ever wood build and I’d like to get the thoughts of some of the members here on this. Some more pictures below:
I’d like some ideas on
- Which kit (if any) this might be
- Where to start with completing it
- Seems the previous builder has colour coordinated the planks to match the gun decks (is this correct/ historically accurate)
- any glaring issues with the model so far I could fix, and how?
