Anyone knows about Jotika / Caldercraft are they any good

 

[Adiefenbach]

Am working on their Victory kit now. Fantastic quality.

 

[notawasaga]

Ok than you for telling me

 

[Bryian]

You would not regret buying on of their kits. They are of a high standard.

 

[Graham]

I have built their HMS Snake and am currently working on their Mary Rose; both build logs are on this site. Good quality materials and plans - you get what you pay for.

 

[Kurt Konrath]

One of best brands available, good plans and instructions are normally in multiple manuals they cover so much.

 

[Mprieto]

I am working on Victory and it is excellent

 

[Kilo66]

They provide excellent materials and very usable instructions, in my experience. I wouldn't hesitate to chose one of their offerings.

I know their Victory kit is extremely good and wish now that I had bought it instead of the Corel version I decided on
Because of this I bought their Mary Rose kit and have to say I am very very disappointed with it. Confusing drawings, some poor quality wood, and not very complete instructions. And then to find out that their representation of the ship looks to be way off. Buy Victory definitely but in my opinion avoid the Mary Rose

Their Victory kit is simply the best in historical accuracy, hands down.

I'm currently working on HMS Snake. As one example, the copper sheathing supplied with these kits is the best of any maker, IMO.

Waiting in the wings I also have Jotika's HMS Diana, HMS Agamemnon, and HMS Victory. I plan to build them in the order listed (if I can manage to live another 15 years ).

 

[Gjsharpe]

I am building their Agamemnon. Excellent kit, plans and instructions. Also very responsive to queries by phone or email in my experience.

 

[Stuart Little]

They are currently moving from the Midlands (Worcestershire) to new premises in Yorkshire.

 

[Bob Ellis]

Way ahead of all of the European mainstream manufacturers for what they do, essentially Napoleonic historical ships. Nikitin and Maris Stella are a different niche in the market, they don't overlap. Jotika and Vanguard are the 'go to' UK choice.

I have posted pictures of Caldercraft Victory in the finished models section, you can see the results, I only used what was in the kit. I have also built Agamemnon with similar results. You can’t go wrong. Ken

This is a plan ..... I am looking forward

I built H.M.S. Agamemnon, Caldercraft, 1:64 scale. Perfect in materials, instructions and customer service.
