drobinson02199 Posted Saturday at 11:34 PM #1 Posted Saturday at 11:34 PM Starting this model from Mantual's Panart line. This is the larger and more complex of the two versions of the Amerigo Vespucci that Mantua offers. This model comes with a really comprehensive set of manuals (8 books), and they are well-illustated. There are also charts, as well as the usual large wall diagrams. Lots and lots of laser cut wood parts, some very nice loose metal parts, and of course strip wood. One thing to watch out for: there is one very fragile laser cut piece that is just put in with the other heavy ones, and the shifting motion of shipping fragments it somewhat. I have taped it back together and the parts that have been split I'll have to reconstruct when mounting. When you unpack this, if there are parts missing look carefully in the box.
