Hello all!
My first post on this forum.
I am about to embark on the Project of a lifetime and its the 1/72 Flower Class Corvette.

Carrying out much research, I have decided on HMCS Calgary K231.
Incredible Service Record.

Trouble is, I cannot find any colour reference material of her.

It looks to me like Light Admiralty Type Scheme but need that confirmed?

Got the Gun Art sorted though!

Many thanks in advance!
Cheers
Steve

Hello Steve, Give The Flower Class Corvette Association Facebook group a look at. You might have to join, but that is usually asking to join. The members might have colour photos of the Calgary.

Hi Steve,

You might also try the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) at War site at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2342072845855391&type=3&comment_id=2342959672433375&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D

Steve,

I built this kit a few years ago as HMS Campanula. Let me know if you have any questions ref the build. Don't know how much of a project you want to make it, but I'd strongly recommend using some of David Parkins' (Great Little Ships) PE sets. They're excellent.
