dpm321 Posted January 15, 2017 #1 Posted January 15, 2017 A number of years ago I bought the Bluenose 1:100 scale kit from Model Shipways. I'm finally ready to build and when I opened the kit I found the plans missing. Apparently Model Shipways sold this kit under license from Amati so they are unable to help me with a set of plans. Does anyone have a set for this kit they would be willing to part with? Thanks. Quote

Anja Posted January 15, 2017 #3 Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Hello Dave, Not only The Black Prince from Mamoli, but also Bluenose from Amati. You are a busy person. Did you start a buildlog yet for the Black Prince? Commercial use of plans is only allowed when written permission is granted by the draughtsman and/or owner of the original drawings. I think the plans are protected with a copyright. Construction plans for Bluenose are still available with Amati. contact@amatimodel.com Or check their website for retailers.

mikeaidanh Posted January 16, 2017 #6 Posted January 16, 2017 Hello Dave, There has been some bad things happening re pirating of plans recently. Suspicions are easily aroused. I am sorry if you found my remark upsetting and, no, you have not committed a faux pas. Welcome to this excellent forum and enjoy your model making. Mike.

dpm321 Posted January 16, 2017 Author #7 Posted January 16, 2017 Thanks for the clarification Mike. I didn't realize there were problems there but I guess it's understandable. I contacted Amati and they responded quickly offering to provide me a set of plans free of charge. Now I can use the money I was going to spend on plans for beer!
