Hi all, thank you for allowing me join the group. I am returning to modelling after a few years now I have more time and a lot more patience! I have a kit of the De agostini 1/84 scale HMS Victory which I have inherited from my Dad who recently passed. He never had time to start the model so I have the whole kit to complete. I do have a problem which if anyone could help me with I will be very grateful. After checking the parts I have discovered that in issue 8 I have 2 copies of item No. 20 and am missing item No. 21. It looks like an error from De agostini when it was delivered. I have checked E-bay and other sites to find but have had no luck. I have also contacted De-agostini direct and they do not have the part available. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this issue or does anyone have this part that i could have a copy off? Many thanks for any help. Regards.
 
Hi. Al you can do is keep a daily check on flea bay and one will crop up one day. Hope the part is not too complicated. Perhaps scratch buildable. Good luck and start a build tread here.
 
Hallo and a warm welcome here on board of our forum
We will try to help and assist you, that you can build this complex model of the Victory.
Maybe best would be to start a building log so we can see your work and answer your questions and comment also when something was not so good
The missing part: When you will not find it somewhere we will help and assist you in making this from scratch - we have here a lot of members knowing of how to make spare parts etc.
 
Welcome to the forums !
If the part is wood, you will probably have to make it. If it's not wood, you may have to fabricate something acceptable.
Is there a picture in the instructions? Is there something that would help you create a replacement like a mirrored piece on the other side?
 
I'm really happy to have found and been accepted into this site, thanks to Uwek and all the other members. I feel less alone and surrounded by sympathy. Thanks, Phil, B.E.

Hi all, thank you for all the comments I am keeping an eye on E-bay daily to see if the issue comes up for sale. The part is made from wood and I might be able to fabricate a replacement in time. Will ley you know how i get on. Thank again.

Hi, The part i need is item number 21, I have 2 of item number 20. Looks like there was an error when originally dispatched. I can possibly alter the extra item 20 but would like to get the correct item if possible. Many thanks.

I think this is no problem with the missing 21 when you have 20 double -> this bulkhead is reall midships and in this area the cross section of the shipshull did not differ too much
so I guess, that you can use the double 20 instead of 21 - these parts are more or less the same

Possibly you can look at my build pics and see if you can spot the item. I built the same model that came in weekly magazine issues
