Here is a whole topic about it

Which San Felipe?

Hi all, i have always wanted to build a San Felipe and in comparing the two kits - 1/75 Panart and 1/50 ZHL or yan quin or whoever kits it, it seems that there are plus and minus for both..... the 1/50 is bordering on too big (for me), the plastic “castings” are pretty terrible, there are...

Agree with Brian, my La Salamandre had some parts missing and Max replaced them ASAP and sent express mail. I have bought other models from Max as well as materials. First class service and communication. The go to guy when buying models from China.

I recently asked about ZHL and received a lot of replies about them being rip-offs of other peoples work, like Chuck Passaro and the Winchelsea I think? Basically profiteering over somebody else's work. The actual truth I don't know. I wanted to know about the quality. So, I get the general impression the quality is good, for the 'political' aspect I have no conclusions or comment. I'd be interested to know where you get with this!

Hi Zoly. If you take this to it's logical conclusion everything is ripped off from the historic designs and details (unless you invent a ship?). The reason Chuck chose Cheerful is because it's one of the few ships with recorded detail, like Peter's Alert, the public records office in Kew has the information which is available to all of us. I know Peter got irritated because Shipyard Models used his book in breach of copyright (he wrote to them suggesting they might want to at least acknowledge him and got a threatening letter from their lawyer!!) so you are quite right, and there's one rule we all know about opinions!!! So, sod 'em and buy 'em!
