Well this idea was born for a purchase of kits some time ago, with in the kits i finally got hold of a Flower Class Corvette 1.72 I had been wanting for a long while.
Anyway with in the conversation I had with the guy, it turned out he had a kit but one draw back. It had no Hull ??
:tomato
As someone that likes to push myself just a little to far I laughed and said no problem and bought it. Contacted Revell and explained my plans for a Diorama with a sinking Flower class and a U boat and was told that the kit was no longer being made. So I started by trying to scratch build the hull, after many attempts and failure I thought the idea and plan would fail.
So yes this idea has been a long time in the making.. :smack
But Revell contacted when they were getting ready to relaunch the kit and said they would be willing to provide the hull was their anything else i needed. To cut a long story short their come up trumps providing the hull of the U Boat and the Flower class corvette..
Looking through the history of the Flower class I came across story's of them ramming U boats. The stage is now set for my idea.
A build of a sinking Flower Class Corvette with the bow of the U boat going down.
