Good Luck

Joe

Ronald,

Check out Tower Hobbies website  (near Chicago), they have Latina kits on sale.

Joe

Ronald,

Cornwall model boats (England)  has it in stock, most posts on this site are very positive about them.

Joe

Ronald,

Check some of the posts on this site about Nature Coast Hobbies, they are not positive, mostly negative.

Joe

Beware of kits on ebay, Remember the old saying " You get what you pay for" usually there is something missing.

check the build log of canoe21, he made the AL kit look like Caldercrafts Victory

Joe

Check out You Tube, there is a build video on the Santa Ana

Joe

Be careful with ordering OCCRE kits from Ages of Sail, check the difference in prices from them with

Cornwall Model Boats in UK, there is a major difference in US dollars, shipping charges are probably included  in Ages

prices on all kits from them, not only OCCRE.

Thank You Sjors on your information on no English instructions on the Montanes.

I have been following your build on the San Ildefonso, excellent photos and build.

I wouldn't need English instructions with the information you have provided here.

Thank You again

Joe

Ricardo,

Does the kit have English instructions? I have heard that the OCCRE kits lack good English instructions.

This is something I would definitely need.

Thanks

Joe

Your workshop is like your model, unbelievable.

Joe

This is one of the top builds on this forum, excellent.

So much to learn from, Thank You

Joe

Richard,

The Victory kit is not released yet by Amati, they are rebuilding their web site.

Joe

Chris,

Great to hear all is well, and answered the questions on shipping the Victory kit.

New York is along way from Italy, but the cost will be worth it.

There have been over 56,000 views of this forum (amazing).

Your Victory model was amazing.

Good luck on your new project.

Joe

Major changes at Model Expo, see post from Marc who owned Model Expo years ago.

Joe

I have learned a lot from Chris's work posted on this forum and hope all is well with him.

He has not posted anything since early November.

Hope everything is ok

Joe

Hank,

Good luck with your build.

It will bring back memories of the battleship New Jersey with us in the Gulf of Tonkin, Yankee station.

Chiefrko,

I built the Fair American, found it very difficult fabricating some of the parts.

I have been working on AL' s  San Juan Nepomuceno on/off the last couple of years and they have numerous parts that

don't need fabricating.

English instructions are the problem with Corel Kits, parts ok

Joe

cnemo,

Did Mr. Amati mention anything about release of Mr. Wattons HMS. Victory?

You are a excellent  contact for the members of this forum

All I can say is THANK YOU

Joe

I will say a prayer that your Victory gets into the hands of Amati safe and sound.

Joe

Thanks Chris for keeping us informed.

I sold my Corel Victory kit on ebay and will wait for this kit

It will never look like your masterpiece when completed.

Thanks Again

Joe

Chris,

Can I have your Victory?

I will pay shipping to New York.

Just A dream

Joe

Chris,

I hope you will get a commission on all the Victory kits that will be sold through Amati.

Tell them to look at this Forum, at all the responses from the modelers around the world about this Kit

It can only be described as Excellent.

Joe

Chris,

All I can say is excellent build log of the Victory.

I just retired and some day will  take a trip across the great pond and visit her in Portsmouth.

I will wait for the Amati Kit of the Victory, hope it will be released soon.

Joe
