The Danish Defense Plan 2005-2009 included the construction of three new frigate sized patrol ships for the Royal Danish Navy. These ships are to replace the more than 25 years old corvettes of the NIELS JUEL Class. With a displacement of an estimated 6,200 tons, the new patrol ships will have double the size of the last frigates in the RDN, the frigates of the PEDER SKRAM Class (1966-1990), and more than four times the size of the corvettes, which they are intended to replace. The patrol ships are to be built at the Odense Steel Ship Yard at Lindoe, just like the command and support ships of the ABSALON Class.

HMS Vanguard by Victory Models

HMS Vanguard by Victory Models

This 74 gun Ship Of The Line was Nelson’s Flagship at the famous Battle Of The Nile on 1st/2nd August 1798. Nelson's Vanguard was designed by Slade (of Victory fame) and was one of fourteen 3rd rate 74 gun ships which formed the Arrogant class. The ship was ordered on 9th December 1779 and the keel laid down at Deptford on 16th October 1782. During this time, Britain was not at war so her build went ahead very slowly, being launched on 6th March 1787.

This superbly detailed kit from Victory Models has been designed and researched using the latest information and technologies available, making the kit very easy to build with no sacrifice to even the finest detail. As with all Victory Model designs, the kit features many innovations, like the pre-cut gun port patterns (eliminating the need to laboriously mark out and hand cut each port), proper 3D panelling detail, ultra-realistic chain plates, a fully detailed upper gun deck, photo-etched window frames which can be glazed, easy to follow step by step instructions and drawings and even an optional sail set complete with very detailed drawings.
