During the Second World War, these vessels were extensively used for Atlantic escort duties, maily because they could travel U.K Coast to U.S.A or Canadian Coast without refuelling, the biggest problem with these ships, it was said, they could role on wet grass, as a tribute build to those who sailed the oceans in these ships, this is second to none, unlike HMS Hood or HMS Ark Royal or HMS Eagle, the only famous Flower Class Corvette is a fictional one, HMS Compass Rose from the film The Cruel Sea, this Kit is one well worth building, and I would highly recommend this model
