I am not familiar with those particular kits you mention. I own OcCre's Santísima Trinidad kit and what I have seen in the box, so far, is of excellent quality. Remember that OcCre is perhaps the newest kit manufacturer in the market and that it spawned from some Artesania Latina's people who wanted to make better kits. This should say something about the company.

Hope someone else can shed more light on the kits you mention.

Regards

I bought their Dos Amigos last year. The hull is inaccurate. I have a set of Admiralty draft copies and she does not measure up. For one thing the deck house is way too big. They've simplified the stern to a transom stern rather than counter and transom as on the original. etc. etc. A lot of the wood is just not nice at all. I did have a build log on the forum before it went pear-shaped, so it's no longer here. basically, I used their hull planks, but replaced the deck with Lime, rebuilt the stern - and the stem. A lot of work....
