Hi, I'm looking at getting my second kit and wondering which to choose. My current build is Mamoli Surprise, which I don't think is a great kit and the instructions are not as good as I could wish for a first build. I'm looking at both Fly and Pegasus from Victory models. Fly is quite a lot cheaper. Given that both ships are from the same class, I was wondering if anyone could suggest which might be better suited to my level of experience (ie. good instructions!). If I need to go back to something smaller to hone my skills I'm considering Granado or even Badger from CC.

Appreciate any advice...

All the kits you named are good kits.  Badger would be a little easier, of course, having only two masts.  The difference in price between Pegasus and Fly is that the former kit includes a number of extra details that are not included in the latter (Fly came off the production line first).  Those extra bits can be purchased as a separate upgrade kit for Fly.  Otherwise the two kits are virtually the same.

 

Cheers!

Thanks ccoyle and spyglass, that is some very good information. I might go with Fly I think, and assess and upgrade parts as I go.

 

Cheers
