Cold_Fire Posted July 2, 2020 #1 Posted July 2, 2020 It looks like Artesania Latina is back, the website is online again. The data in the website shows another company took care of the brand, I think. WalrusGuy, coxswain, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote
Nirvana Posted July 2, 2020 #2 Posted July 2, 2020 At the bottom "About us" some company by the name "Excellence model kits S.L.U" is mentioned, but searching for that name provides nothing. But both facebook and artesanialatina.net are functional. Since the cover page is showing Test page and the very bottom read 2020, well I think they are back.

Mark, my only Artesania Latina box which is about 20 years old has the address in Spain, I didn't know they had been located in Italy. mtaylor 1 Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!

Cabbie Posted July 4, 2020 #10 Posted July 4, 2020 Just looking through the new site and in order to create an account or use the instant checkout you have to give them your Id or Passport number. To me that sounds a bit strange. https://artesanialatina.net/en/autenticacion?back=my-account mtaylor 1 Quote HM Cutter Mermaid 1817 HMB Endeavour 1768 by Cabbie - Artesania Latina - 1:60 - Kit Fiddle Every action has a consequence

Cabbie Posted July 6, 2020 #12 Posted July 6, 2020 Still can't see why they want them, card details name and address seems to be good enough anywhere else. They will have my money, why does a Spanish bureaucracy need passport/id numbers. Maybe in your case collecting an insurance payout is fair enough, but i would be sending a small amount of money in. Wouldn't be getting mine anyway, not going to buy anymore AL kits.

rshousha Posted July 6, 2020 #13 Posted July 6, 2020 Local retailers, or other online retailers, should have better prices for you than buying direct. AL will put the "suggested retail prices" on their site, which is rarely what retailers sell at. Wait until the pipeline is filled again and I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised.

Belco Posted January 10, 2021 #14 Posted January 10, 2021 HI Artesania Latina was a company that began many years ago in Barcelona, after a while it moved to a town in Cantabria (province of Spain) until its disappearance. So he seems an Andalusian businessman who has admired his products since he was a child and has bought the brand through the company EXCELLENCE MODEL KITS S.L.U in Aznalcazar, a town in the province of Seville (Spain). At the moment the web page seems like a reconstruction of the old one, still unfinished. Hopefully in their new journey they improve in quality and design. In the following link there is a video of the new owner of the brand, in subtitles you can read in English https://youtu.be/IGYFW6jp2LA Salutacions Belco Canute, mtaylor, catopower and 1 other 4 Quote
travis Posted November 28 #15 Posted November 28 I know this is an old post but found this interesting for those still wanting to know. I found that artesania and occre have manufacturing facilities literally next door to each other in a rural area of spain. Can't help but wonder if the companies are either the same or at least associated? I do like both companies (my first two where Artesania and I just bought two from occre!) Was curious where the models were coming from (shipped from) and google showed this.
