Hi all well now I've finished Warspite I am putting some serious thought into the corvette. I know the purists will hate this but there are hundreds of corvette model builds out there, and, if you've got to know me at all you will know I don't do usual, so, I was thinking what I could do different, I could turn it into a luxury cruiser, but I want to keep the guns and stuff, so I thought maybe turn it into some sort of futuristic fighting ship, but no I actually like the look of it as it is, and that would change it a lot, so what I thought was. War gaming is quite popular what if you could play captain of your very own corvette. Obviously she would have to have up to date radar and stuff, for legal reasons I assume. So guys what would I have to alter legally (visibly I mean)if she was to exist now and be leased out to War game parties.

I have a suggestion for a different corvette build. At least 4 corvettes that were to be used by the French fell into German hands. A Kriegsmarine corvette would be a unique build.

Hi all made a start on my Flower class corvette

Hi all hull halves together



as you can see will need a fair amount of sealant to waterproof it, even though I used a vise the gaps are still quite large. just waiting for the brass rod and tube for the prop shaft to come then I will seal it all.

Installed the prop shaft on the corvette

Hi all got the radio gear in the Corvette today.

Hi all done a bit to the corvette. the strengthening tie bars are a joke they bend all over the place had to add some plasticard to them to stiffen them also number 9 rib is about 1.5 mill too long when in place and you add the top deck it creates a gap all down the side so had to had a bit off that, fits ok now.

well did some filling and glued some deck parts on corvette and added the wooden decking to the rear.

Mmmm...the deck of the corvette is almost completely made of steel, with only a section around the gun platform and two additional smaller ones at the end of the galley, both port and starboard sides.

thanks for the inf yes I did know that but this is not going to be a standard Corvette
Anyway. since my bosses husband is buying the Bentley and my boss has commissioned me to build 2 1/48 Tamiya spits and a 1/48 Tamiya Lancaster (her father was an electrical engineer on the lancaster and actually worked on the Concord too)the corvette is going to have to go on the back burner for a while but here is where I am now on her.

I highly recommend the books "the floer class corvette" by John Lambert and "flower class corvette Agassiz". Lots of details.
