Mirage has added the HMS "Anchusa" and "Zinnia" to complete your collection of Flower-Class Corvettes!
Mirage Hobby has uncannily covered the Flower-Class Corvettes from A-Z with this pair of releases, both in new-tooling!
1/350 HMS "Anchusa" Flower - Class Corvette (K186) - New Tooling
350801
The corvette with the pennant number “K 186”, was named HMS “Anchusa”.
Corvettes built in this series had an elongated foredeck, but the mast was still situated in front of
the command post. The history of the ship is interesting not only due to her long combat
operation during which she underwent two modernizations and changes of appearance, but
also her operation after the end of World War II...
Available Now.
1/350 HMS "Zinnia" Flower - Class Corvette (K98) - New Tooling
350802
HMS Zinnia was ordered by France at Smith’s Dock shipyard in Middlesboro on 31/08/1938 and received the manufacturer’s number J4034. The construction of the ship took 7 and a half months. She was equipped with armament enabling attacks on submarines, defense against air raids and trawling minefields. In her short service, the ship conducted operations minesweeping port entrances, and saved 3 castaways from Cape Rodney sunk by U-75 on 5/08/1941.
Available Now.
