Portuguese Ships

[James S]

Can y'all recommend some books on Portuguese ships? I'm interested in Portuguese ships from 12-1300 through about 1600 or so.

Thanks,
James

Thank you so much. I really like the Nao Victoria. How is Disar Models?

I can recommend several books if you can read Portuguese.

I can't read Portuguese, unfortunately.

In my opinion the pieces are not bad, but the instructions are horriable, and so is the customer service IMO.
I will not buy another one because of the poor customer service alone.

Notice 1:29 seconds into video. Look at the stern rudder area. It is curved NOT flat. This is a nao not a galleon. The kit I have had to modify because the stern area of the kit shows flat in this area like a galleon. This is a nao not a galleon. Just one of many big mistakes by the manufacture.

...definitely have to buy a white robe as I don't have one. I might get one from my friend @dockattner to be an authentic one.
