hof00 Posted April 22, 2016 #1 Posted April 22, 2016 Hi All, Stumbled across a communique earlier today that Mamoli had a bit of a disaster? Does this mean that I don't have any recourse for any Spares, Bits & Pieces Etc, for the Mamoli kits in my possession? I have a Mamoli HMS Victory and Flying Cloud, un-started and complete. (Not "Mini Mamoli") Are these now "Collectors" items? Cheers....HOF. Completed Builds: A/L Bluenose II A/L Mare Nostrum Sergal/Mantua Cutty Sark A/L Pen Duick A/L Fulgaro Amati/Partworks 1/200 Bismarck A/L Sanson
mtdoramike Posted April 22, 2016 #2 Posted April 22, 2016 Well if you mean did they just jump up in value then NO! Kits no matter who makes them and what disaster befell the company will only bring about half of what the retail price was or is. The only real exception to this would be if a kit collector or builder really, really wanted that particular kit. mike mtaylor 1
mtdoramike Posted April 22, 2016 #3 Posted April 22, 2016 To further answer your question, as long as the scale is right, there are on line hobby stores that have Mamoli stock and if they run out, you can use items from other manufactures as long as the scale is close. So it would be no biggie, but it's a shame if such a disaster has happened to mamoli as it has always been a fine company that made great kits and supplies. mike mtaylor 1
Bowsprit Posted April 22, 2016 #4 Posted April 22, 2016 Various reports I have seen on the web suggest Mamoli had a serious fire in late 2014 and, sadly, went out of business as a result. Here in the UK many of the kits are still on sale by retailers. mtaylor, mtdoramike, WackoWolf and 1 other 4
