How many different hulls are there for the Flower Class Corvette? I thought there were only 2, but having had a look at the 2 hulls offered by 'Fleetscale', they both look different to the Revell corvette model? Thanks.

The there (at least) the following -
The original short fo'c'sle
The long fo'c'sle - The Revell kit
The improved flower - This had a greater sheer and so higher stem
The high endurance - This was the improved flower bow with a squarer stern(Only built by Canada)

I'm not sure but it could be possible that some of the later Canadian long fo'c'sle ships also had the square stern.

The Bryony hull suppied by fleetscale is a extra long forcastle hull which only builds four of the english built corvettes, bryony, lotus borage and another that escapes me, the hull is quite easy to cut down to build the normal long forcastle corvettes though.

Ah thanks, that explains it, it was the 'Bryony' hull that I was looking at (had a look at the other, with the short forcastle but didn't like it), and I thought it looked longer than the Revell, how easy is it to cut down though? Not imminently buying 1, already got 10 projects on the go, but it's nice to know what I need to save.

Hi,
models by design do the hull as well

Thanks for that, thats a far better price than the fleetscale hull. However I have now seen many others that I'd love, think I'm gonna need a 2nd house just for the boats soon!
