Mamoli kit

[Stevied78]

Hello ship model mates,,

Im curious about the uss constitution model kit made by Italian manufacture Mamoli

any info, opinions or knowledge of this kit, ,looks lke they are not on the hit list,,

Thanks,,,

In My opinion Mamoli isn't one of the best brands. their instructions are incomplete and limited English skills. their wood quality is poor. If you want to do the Constitution Model shipways has the best kit.

What Floyd said... but I'll add that Bluejacket has one that nice also but while MS is of the early 20th century rebuild, Bluejacket's closer to the ship as built.   There's differences in the way the models are built and the Bluejacket may not appeal to you.

Just what I expected,,thanks so much for the advice,,Im most likely going to buy the one at the constitution museum, as I live in Quincy ma.and will be visiting there when the weather breaks (16" of snow today) plus the proceeds  also support the connie,and it is the model shipways version,,Im a long way off though, first  finishing the plastic revel one, then the wooden Uss Syren,,

Thanks again mates,,

Have only half built one Mamoli kit (Golden Hind). Only half built her because that was all that came in the kit! Would never, ever buy another kit from them!

Remember that Dusek is now reissuing the Mamoli kits. Quality can not be compared to the old kits before the fire...

Look here:

Exactly, cant complain about the wood, some stuff was redone and Daniel is always willing to send parts if something is missing, also it's nice communicating with him on any topic.

I think the Connie museum's model is the one made by Blue Jacket.

I think you're right Scallywag.   And as I pointed out earlier, the Bluejacket one is based on much earlier look than the MS.   The MS version is based on the 1927 rebuild (I think that's the one or close to it).  The MS is based on as she looked in the early 1800's....
