Spotted a link on the IPMS Ireland forums to IPMS German forum where there is an anouncment of the Flower being re-released in November 2012 with PE set and wooden decks. No further details yet.

Link to see the rest of the list is: http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/FirstLook/Hersteller_News/Revell_News_2012.html

Cheers

I wonder if they have an inclination of releasing just the PE and wooden deck for those of us that have the ship already.

Picked up an intact Matchbox version for a song this summer. Shocked to see what the going prices on Ebay were for the Matchbox one. Knew it was only a matter of time before it was re-released again.

Pretty disappointing list really, Nice to see the Flower back, and will be interested to see what will be in the etch, but otherwice, nothing much at all.

Might have to check that out when it hits the market to see what they are actually offering, especially by way of PE. I've always loved the Flower Class corvettes and especially in 1/72.

Glad to see the kit pipeline will be refreshed with a Flower re-release, though I'm chary of what the new price will be if PE and wooden decks are included.

Hi Simon, I think we'll need to look to the east for anything substantial on the salty side of the hobby, Having said that though, I am looking forward to Airfix's 1/350 release of HMS Daring!
