Hi all,


This is the HMCS ARROWHEAD K 145, one of Canada's Flower Class corvettes that were used for convoy escort duties during the battle of the atlantic. The kit is the (now discontinued) Revell 1/72 HMCS Snowberry. I went an step further, and scratched an interior for the engine room and a couple messdecks forward. The kit was built as part of the Canadian Naval Centennial celebration

and now, the pics!

humble beginnings:

the aft bandstand had its exagerrated sidewall removed and some more scale installed

the bridge. Not much of the kit was used for this:

the engine, a three week ordeal!

Mostly done. I wanted to include these two to show the lighting I did

(I kinda like how huge the engine looks in this shot)
