HELLER HMS Victory Model Kit

Build History’s Most Famous Warship

Experience the glory of naval history with this meticulously detailed scale model of Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson’s legendary flagship, HMS Victory. This iconic three-decker vessel earned immortal fame at the Battle of Trafalgar and stands as one of the Royal Navy’s most celebrated ships.

Authentic Historical Design

Your model captures the Victory as she appeared during her most famous period – the distinctive configuration she bore when returning to sea in 1803. Gone were the elaborate golden ornamentations of her early years, replaced by the practical, battle-ready appearance that made her so admired. This authentic design reflects the ship’s transformation from ceremonial vessel to formidable fighting machine.

Rich Naval Heritage

Named officially on October 28th, 1760, HMS Victory was the fifth Royal Navy vessel to bear this proud name. From her launch on May 8th, 1778 under Admiral Lord Keppel’s command to her first engagement against the French fleet off the Brittany coast, this ship witnessed pivotal moments in British naval supremacy.

From Active Service to Honored Preservation

After her combat years, Victory served as Portsmouth’s Chief Admiral Headquarters from 1825 to 1869, with her honor restored again in 1901. Thanks to the Nautical Research Society’s preservation campaign led by Lord Milford Haven, she was moved to Portsmouth Dock No. 2 in 1921 – the world’s oldest dry dock where she remains in remarkable condition today.
