Re: Who's your favorite kit manufactuer
I am staying with two companies - A. Latina and M Shipways. I have finish three ships from AL; Scottish Maid, Anatomy of the H.M.S. Bounty (20604 – the older version), and San Juan, and at present, I am working on AL Santa Ana. I can honestly say AL has come a long way over the years. There older kits like Anatomy of the H.M.S. Bounty 20604 was very difficult to build, however, looks extremely nice when finish. Their revise kit, the San Juan, was enjoyable to build. There newer kits like Santa Ana is going together nicely without any headaches. Hundreds of color photos in the manual is a lifesaver, sails sewn well enough you can actually use. They are also using tons more exotic woods in their newer kits to help give them a more distinctive look like tanganyka, sapelia, and manzonia. Overall, AL is about the best European kit I have found so far.
