Hi All,
 
Can anyone suggest a source of fittings for a Revell Flower class post-refit in the US to American spec. as a Coastguard PG such as Saucy. This would call for the 4"/50cal and 3"/50cal weapons, plus the tripod mast bits etc.
 
I've been given an abandoned 3/4 kit and in view of the many missing fittings I thought a change would be in order.
 
I may have missed it but I've not noticed such a conversion.
 
This is the sort of thing>
 
 
 
Thanks

Hi klunk,
 
You're probably right, but I checked them out before and they don't seem to do the US armament post-refit. So all the guns, boats, masting, radar etc. seem to be of the original RN/RCN type.

I assume navsource has lots of photos. The Americans seemed to be very good at taking lots of dockyard photos.

Aye Sandy,
 
Plenty of pics available plus camo details etc. Can't find any drawings but since this is going to be a re-make I'm only after fair stand-off rather than absolute accuracy

I did John but I was looking for the two main guns first and I think you must have hidden them
