1/1800th scale Flower Class Corvette model. Certain elements not to scale.
The Flower-class corvettes were British escort ships built from 1939–1944 for anti-submarine convoy duty during the Battle of the Atlantic. A total of 294 were completed (225 original and 69 modified ships), with 33 lost during World War II, including 22 sunk by submarines. Early ships were armed with a single 4-inch gun, machine guns, and depth-charge throwers with 40 depth charges; later modified Flowers gained 20 mm Oerlikons, a 2-pounder “pom-pom,” Hedgehog anti-submarine mortars, radar, and increased depth-charge loads.
This model is designed and tested at 1/1800th scale, but up-scaling and down-scaling are possible. Since the model is optimized for 1/1800th scale, it is not ideal to print larger versions due to a lack of detail. The gun barrels and mast have been enlarged.
This is part of my collection of WWII warships, keep an eye out for more to come. If you have a specific request, message me and I'll bump it up my list.
Tested with PLA at .1mm layer height with .4mm nozzle.
