(Good) Morning Ladies !
I've been glad/lucky/happy to get the above mentioned kit on e-bay for 25€ (including delivery costs). It hasn't arrived yet, but I'm curious: is this the common Revell Germany kit (what I know as HMCS Snowberry) or a special edition ? Are there decals included for any other versions, e.g. HMCS Snowberry as in the well-known kit ?
Thx for your help
Frank

The USS Saucy was one of the options in the original Matchbox issue. I would imagine it's the same kit.

Hi Frank
The original Matchbox Flower class corvete had the following option:
- HMS Bluebell
- HMCS Snowberry
- USS Saucy
The Revell reboxing has only two versions
- HMCS Snowberry
- USS Saucy
Some of the parts for the HMS Bluebell option are still included in the Revell reboxing.
Have fun

If I remember rightly all the parts for Bluebell are included in the Revell version, they are just marked as 'not used'. So you could easily build an RN corvette.

Thanks a lot guys !
I'm definetly going to build the HMCS Snowberry; she saw a "little" bit of action and sank some U-boats within the 5th Canadian Support Group.
