Billing Boats 1/75 HMS Victory Wooden Model Kit

The Billing Boats 1/75 HMS Victory is a highly detailed wooden ship model kit that faithfully recreates the legendary British warship.

History of HMS Victory

Launched in 1765 at Chatham Dockyard, HMS Victory was commissioned in 1778 and served in active duty for 34 years. She played a pivotal role in numerous naval battles, most notably leading the British fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 under Admiral Lord Nelson. Retired from frontline service in 1812, she remained moored in Portsmouth Harbour for over a century before being moved to Portsmouth’s Royal Naval Dockyard in 1922 for preservation. Today, HMS Victory stands as a symbol of British naval heritage, representing the craftsmanship and industrial capability of 18th-century shipbuilding.
