I recently saw an announcement for a new 1/350 Flower Class corvette that's due out this year from one of the major kit manufacturers. For the life of me, though, I can't recall the manufacturer.
Can someone please offer some help?
Thanks!

Mirage keeps releasing 1/350 Flowers, but they're all based on the same long forecastle hull.

Thanks Joe! That's exactly the one. I had a feeling it might have been 1/144 but thought that was too good to be true. Now if October would just hurry up and get here.

Boxart for new Revell 1/144 corvette -
Posted: Friday, January 30, 2015 - 05:17 PM UTC
Very interesting box art presented by Revell of their upcoming "Early" HMCS Snowberry.
This box art is based on a very well documented photograph of the Snowberry as she was in her 1943 refit (May 1943).
If this is an actual indication of what is in the box then we can expect a 1943 Snowberry
and not an "early", as stated by Revell.
She did not look like this in 1942 and prior.
We will have to wait and see.
Regardless, it is a most welcome release on the part of Revell.
Cheers,
Joe

Hmm, I'm a bit disappointed it's not a short fo'c'sle but we'll have to wait and see if it's truly an accurate image reflecting what the kit will be.
