What a beauty! Fantastic job Boats. And Matt is right - I've very recently seen a 1/48th scale Buccaneer, built from the Airfix kit, on e-bay at a 'Buy Now' price of £350 (approx $560). OK, it's a sod of a kit to build, and takes time, but this looked like a pretty mediocre example, and a mass-produced kit. Do your 'Victory' would be up there in the top bracket, and I'd guess would easily command well over $1,000.
But then, I know you'd probably never sell it anyway !!
