Thanks mates! Not much progress at the moment because of a lot of work to do. I just worked a little bit on a new weehlhouse and fold both depth carge racks and slightly modified them to fit to the hull. Cheers Christian

Looking good, Christian! Is this a Flower-Class Corvette?

Hi Holger, thanx and yes it is a Flower. The first in plastic and scale 1/350. Cheers Christian

I´m tempted to build the 1:72 Revell Flower, seems to be a very nice model!

The 1/72 is an old but still an accurate kit. The new Revell versoin contains some wooden deck etc. and there are a lot of aftermarket items to super detail the Flower.

I never worked with a wooden deck but i´m looking forward! And the Flowercorvettes have beautiful lines!

Look at this link:

I do not either work with a self gluing wooden deck, but my freind Frank Spahr did work with such a deck on his HMS Warspite. He told that it worked well!

Very nice link, thanks!
It even looks pretty without paint on it!

I have seen Frank´s Warspite, brilliant build!

Album info

Some progress with the Flower. I made a new bridge section and opened up the windows. Last Friday the WEM PE set arrived and I start adding the parts for the bridge section as well as the gun platform. The first setting looks well and next I will add the radar lantern supports and the bulwarks in front of the bridge.
