Dusek Ship Kits
MM01 Bounty NEW






In 2016 Daniel Dusek bought all rights for producing of all Mamoli and MiniMamoli kits. Since then the kits are released in batches.



History

The name of Bounty, a frigate of the British Navy, is permanently tied to her captain Bligh and to the vicissitudes which caused the crew to mutiny. The ship set out for Spithead in December 1787, final destination Tahiti. On the return voyage, owing to the strict discipline imposed by the captain, a certain discontent began to spread through the crew and it soon turned into munity. Christian Fletcher, the boatswain, took command of the ship and forced Bligh to board a lifeboat with 18 still faithful men. After a dangerous navigation of more than 4000 miles, Bligh reached the Isle of Timor and afterwards England. The Bounty went back to Tahiti.

Let's look deeper at this kit.

The Prefabricated wooden hull makes it easy even for beginners to create the fuselage shape in a great small model.










The small parts.







Also the castings make a very good impression.





Let's start with the cleanly lasered wooden boards. 





First of all, there is the deck of the Black Queen with all planks pre-lasered in a beautiful pear. And this in a beginner kit. Great move!






Other boards are laser-cut in beech. But there is nothing wrong with this either. Very very less laser char. All is clean and crisp.





And see the dowels for masts and spars.





And last but not least, for all those who would like to make sails, a very nice fine-meshed fabric is included.





The multilingual manual should make it easy for beginners to build a wonderful little model with a lot of fun.









Conclusion

With high quality components (where to find pear wood in a "beginner's kit"...) a revised manual and a really attractive price Daniel Dusek leads the Mamoli Mini Kit series into a successful future. This little kit of a classic historic ship is really great. For the beginner, but certainly also for the advanced, who are simply looking for a small, loving intermediate project, this small model promises a lot of fun.
 
Dusek Ship Kits currently lists this model for 69 €, and I think that represents really good value for money for this beginner kit.
