I am looking to build a cross section model. have 3 in mind; Mamoli Constitution cross section, Occre Santisima Trinidad cross section and Artesania Bounty. I have moderate skill level looking for opinions as to degree of difficulty or problems withvarious kits

I have built the Constitution. I believe it was from Model Expo and it is a fine model
 
Hallo Wayne,
I was searching a little bit and compared your three candidates:

Constitution: scale 1:98 and kit is the oldest on the market

with some bashing you make a nice section, but this kit is already more than 30 years old and not changed in any way

Occre Santissima Trinidad: Scale 1:90 - Occre quality is in general really good

Artesania Latina: you mentioned Bounty, but they have only the San Francisco II in scale 1:50 in their program - this one looks relatively simplified in the finishing - to make a really good model there is a lot of room for kit bashing, to say it friendly

This is not an easy decision and it is hard to make here an advise - all of them have positive and several negative points - at the end it will be a question of taste and maybe also which scale would be the best
