Another Occre release surprise.

Wow, that could be a next big sailing ship after my Belem. So more sophisticated. Hope the price is more affordable than others version on market, but the quality will be the major factor.
 
Anyone figured out what's the difference between the basic version and the other one?
 
I do not really understand some manufactures.
Also the Mantua version already since years on the market is in scale 1:100
-> so only two arguments could be vaild
1) the price is much cheaper
or
2) the quality of the kit is much better
 
Hi Uwe, there is also the Panart version of this ship at 1/87 scale. Its very expensive but has a lot of fittings.
Hallo Brian,
the Panart and the Mantua version are the same kit, sometimes as 1:100 and sometimes as 1:84 described - but it is (I think) the same content
Also the photo showing a completed model on the box is the same
