I just picked up a Revell 1/72 Snowberry but would like to do something a bit different. I've read descriptions of the 4 French Flower class that were used by the Kriegsmarine and the amount of AAA they were fitted with. I've been searching around the internet and know there are no real photos of these available but found reference to other people doing one of these. Can any-one help and point me to a build log or even photos of a completed model?
Thanks
Sean

Just discovered a slight flaw in my plans: Snowberry has the long fo'castle while the German ones were all short fo'castle versions.....

Not sure my scrach-building skills are up to that challange!

Just a quick question: what do people think of doing a "what-if" PA5....later version Flower capture and converted similar to the 4 earlier ships?
