I read somewhere that Amati is coming up with a Victory ship model. Does anyone know when it is coming out?
I would say in a few yearsI read somewhere that Amati is coming up with a Victory ship model. Does anyone know when it is coming out?
3-5 years to complete ,depend on builderThe gentleman in the previous post said that it will cost around 1300 Euros. For me that is over $2000 Canadian dollars. But I still maintain the argument that you must look at these projects in terms of (cost/hours of torture) lol

Yeah good point I noticed that too. I thought maybe it was because it was only a prototype.Shame about all the MDF though. At that price, I'd expect quality timber. Just spill a cup of coffee and see what happens. For those with the Alert try leaving a drop or two of water on the rib templates and see what happens.
The weight will be because of the MDF. At least the CC kit is all solid timber and 6mm ply for the POB and its 14Kg.
The strength on the Amati is only from cross joined sections of MDF like a laser cut animal head in cross sections.
Whist Chris W is to be admired for his design effort, the choice for Amati to use MDF at such a high level is not. They have gone MDF with most of their newer kits. Suprised the EU has not banned due to toxicity levels in MDF
Many kit mfgs using mdf ,according to @DonRobinson they are not that bad,there are many new type of mdf ,and they are not like used to be,higher quality todayYeah good point I noticed that too. I thought maybe it was because it was only a prototype.
Don’t be sorry,it is ok,everybody builds whatever they wantSorry I asked
