Montañés by Sevish - OcCre kit

[sevish]

Good job.
My wife asked me what i wanted for my birthday, and i said nothing. And you know what she got me? Nothing... Tactical mistake, LOL.

This is a real tactical mistake next year she won't even ask you, from now on it will be:
"Honey i'm buying your present for my birthday" or it will be "just buy what ever you want for your birthday...



(Shouting from the living room)
IN REASONABLE PRICE..."

Not just regular crying, crying to the pillow

I don't know why it was hard to OcCre to research this

It may be as simple as that there is a cost for thorough research, and they do not want to add to the cost of making the kit and consequential price increases to their audience knowing most of their customers do not have the time to do their own research or in some/many cases are not concerned about the kit's accuracy. Doing one's own research can be fun for some, but an unneccesary chore for others. This is a hobby for most after all, not a history class that must be passed to graduate.

If it was research for small project like the latest kits they issued i would say sure.
But with mass production of a specific kit i don't think it will effect the price of the kit.
And probably they already covered the initial kit productions costs and the research they did.
But in general they really need to refresh and update their instructions for their old ships.

These kits have more waste wood after model is finished, than addition and cost of making this dolphin.
It's hard to determine what's going in company, or in head of person who designing it.

What was this issue?
Two or three days of searching? and a few questions in message?
And this all without a factory, designers, projects, without a manager, production manager? and where is the quality controller?
Sad.

Limited dolphin edition, 1/1!

But don't forget that the internet today wasn't the internet back then 15 years ago.
And it's harder to do company trip to Madrid to the maritime museum for proper research.
And in second thought the had to research the hull and the overall look of the ship, i'm sure they came cross with this info but decided to neglect this in the final design.
Although in the Santisima Trinidad they put the dolphin striker.
Interesting which model came first the Santisima or the Montañés?

And a small treat , if you will look closely on the Montañés and San Ildelfonso they just rename the ship the whole build is the same. Although in history The Montañés inspired by the San Ildelfonso but designed to be better and built better, to the most newly innovations of the time . And that's why she also much faster then other ships of this time.

San Ildelfonso is no longer in production, it just disappeared.
