I may have made a mistake regarding the number of Santa Maria kits. I got the impression that there would be many kits available based on a plaque that came with my kit that read “00020”. But right now the Dry Dock store has only one in inventory. But probably not all that important.
Hi Craig ,I am a little bit confused about your issue
i don’t have an issue. The kit comes with a plaque with the ships name and beneath the name is a serial number. Mine read “Serial number: 00020”. I interpreted this to mean that perhaps thousands of kits would be produced and that mine was an early production kit - the 20th. To me that meant many more kits produced would give many modelers the opportunity to build this ship (that it wouldn’t be a limited production). Then when I looked at the Dry Dock web site last night and saw that there was only one in inventory I thought that my assumption that many kits would be offered may be wrong and there would be a limited number of kits offered.
This is an impressive model and will be beautiful when finished. The price seemed reasonable and a great value. I hope that many modelers will have the opportunity to enjoy this build.
There is no issue just an observation.
The kit was just released 1 month ago ,Ships of Pavel Nikitin is a small company ,they cannot produce thousands .
