Artesania's brand new kits in 2020

I just realized that the Artesania Latina revived in July, 2020. The company's site looks under construction, but some of its SNS channels are actively promoting.

When I was sightseeing their youtube channel, I found that they launched new kits with new box design. Actually, the AL introduced new box design with Fokker Dr.I in 2017. I gethered and rearranged their new boxes by reference number. This is not a complete list. I might have missed a few item.

I don't know that AL will renew or redesign all the legacy kits and box designs. I hope they update legacy kits properly if they do reboxing.

 

Good luck, Artesania Latina.

Updated. Looks like not all of 'new generation kits' are brand new. Some of them added new parts or new format manual such as DVD.

Nobody has dvd anymore.

The instructions are just a few PDF files on the DVD in my experience (with the Sopwith Camel).  If you have no computer with DVD, the PDF files can be downloaded from the AL web site.

 

Having said that, it is still a little bit of a pain to use that vs a paper manual though I certainly understand why they went that route.

You can use an external DVD player, connected by a USB cable. But yes, a printed booklet is always welcome.

I'm currently building the Artesania Latina Bluenose ll.  It's a newly produced kit, not an old one purchased on eBay.  I'm very impressed with some elements of the kit, but very disappointed with others.

 

This kit comes with a CD (and luckily I still have a PC with a CD slot), and the .pdf and video files on it are very nice - as far as they go.  To save some time & space I'll summarize my experience - good & bad - with this model below. 

 

* Components are all high-quality.  Nice woods, fibers and metal.  A few minor parts missing, but the rigging threads (while nice) are inadequate.  Not enough of the heavier black fiber to complete all of the shrouds.

* That's assuming that I'm using the right weight thread for that purpose.  If there was a parts list with component descriptions included with the kit I'd know.

* I was able to make my way through the hull and deck directions, and the results look great, but things get very fuzzy after that.  I could get the masts assembled just by looking at the provided pictures, but then as the pace quickens the pictures (which include numbers next to each component) leave you to guess what to do.  What the heck does a part number in a picture mean when there's no parts list to refer to?  There are literally no written instructions after you get to mast construction.  

 

I'll get through this.  I've built a number of models and feel pretty competent.  But I'll have to refer to pictures on the box cover, the pictures with indecipherable numbers, etc.  

 

Good try Artesania Latina, but the little details count and you need to do a lot better with instructions.
