¹⁄350

The HMS Spiraea is the next in line for Mirage's affordable series of 1/350 Flower-Class Corvettes!

K80, the HMS Spiraea, survived through a rather full service life with the British Royal Navy from 1941-1945 after leaving her birthplace of the already renowned A. & J. Inglis shipbuilding company in Glasgow Scotland. Like many British military vessels, she was eventually sold to a Greece where she was renamed the Thessaloniki.

She boasts the lightest tonnage of the three Flower-Class Corvettes currently offered by Mirage, and is similar to the K98 Zinnia in dimension and capacity. Their armament is also similar, with the addition of 2 depth charge throwers on the Spiraea.

Another interesting addition to this kit is what looks to be PE railings and ladder, something that the former kits of the Anchusa and Zinnia could definitely benefit from.
