Hi Daniel,

I recently purchased the Mamoli HMS Victory 1:90 kit.  As you will see it was an old kit that a gentleman started but lost interest. It appears to have most of the parts and pieces as the fittings bags are still sealed. I believe I have all the Instruction Sheets( 1 - 16 and A, B and C). What I would like to know was there a Parts List/ Inventory List that came with the kit? The bags of "copper" plates and gun ports are inside he box, I am more concerned with the timber parts. I am wanting to know what the types of timbers and thicknesses (plys) they are. There are a lot of strips and dowels that I have not sorted yet for the planking and masts/spars. This is my first Mamoli kit I have purchased and getting things together in preparation to start in the near future in my retirement.

I hesitate to ask this favor. But here goes. I am assembling a Mamoli Constitution kit that I suspect is at least 30 years old. It is 1:93 scale and has a code number 3106. The news print like instruction sheets ( Tavola in Italian) are deteriorated at places where folds are located so on Tavola 4 which deals with the deck fittings, the thickness to which the assembled gratings are supposed to be reduced by sanding is illegible. If you have these particular drawings could you check Tavola 4 and determine the thckness that Mamoli specify and let me know. The parts list on that page gives one dimension for each of these gratings as "1.5 mm". These gratings start out life at about 3.2 mm thick. If I sanded them down to 1.5 mm, I think they would fall apart. Thanks .
