THREE OF A KIND.

[Haddock]

                            This is something that seemed like a good idea at the time.
                   I picked up the kits at a very reasonable cost from two traders, two from the
UK and one from Poland, they all cost the same, including postage, I also got a copy
of the Shipcraft book on corvettes, again, at a knock-down price and an etched brass
fret that is supposed to cover two ships, more of that later.
                    One of the kits has an etched brass fret included, the other two don't.

I also have one of these to build, I have not plucked up the courage yet, and the book, snap.

I presume these are all variations on the same type of ship?

Flower Class Corvettes, they built 3 or four at Beverley and floated them down the river Hull to the \Humber.

Between you all you should be able to get quite a fleet going then, and with Kevin's U Boats
and Haddocks all round skills, a diorama of the North Atlantic circa 1942 seems feasible!

We would need a big table to put it on!!

Thought it might be interesting to compare a corvette with the Prince of Wales.

That puts it into perspective, what small ships they were.

Looks like the forward corvette has been torpedoed.
Thanks for the information on their build at Beverley Dave. I didn't know that.

Or rather a big paddling pool.

Multiple builds, this will be interesting.

The shipyard in Beverley built quite a lot of trawlers and the two "Bridlington Belles".

HMS Begonia was built at Beverly.
Starling models are about to release her in 1:350 by Black cat models. It will be resin and 3D printed
so expensive.
Do I really need another Corvette?

Do you need another corvette - YES.
The Bevereley shipyard built a lot of ships during WW1 as well

There is a book that lists all the ships built there, I did borrow it from the library, John Cook has a copy I believe. He is quite knowledgeable about Beverley ships and shipyard.
Sorry Martin, I corrected Beverley as well!
if you look under my post on The East Riding there is some information.
