Yes, it is a Revell kit like so many others who have built a Corvette, but this one involves no armour.
During my research I found a book that it is not available in my library however, I could drive into Toronto and see the copy in the Toronto research library. I chose to try and contact the author. He kindly wrote me and has given me advice on this “kit-bashing” project.
He told me the model represents the
“Snowberry, which was one of ten built in Canada on British contract to British design, so the stern was not modified for minesweeping”, said Dr. Milner
Sackville is different, I was told by Dr. Milner, that “if you are going to build Sackville you need to know that the stern of the Airfix kit is wrong for the first 54 Canadian built corvettes. These all had a wide “duck tail” stern to accommodate minesweeper gear — way too complex and problematic to kitbash.
The deck clomber differed from ship to ship according to the practice of the yard, the program, and type of boiler — water tube, fire tube, pressurized boiler room etc…”
I have been doing lots of research and have found some photos to assist me with this project. It requires changes to the “kit” and making parts that resemble the photos. I know there will be things that are missing plus that over the 20+ years, the ship went through several structural changes and refits.
The photos show the two different stern images and how I modified the kit to create a “duck tail”.
Other photos are of the revised superstructure for steerage. Noteworthy are the extended deck and addition of ladders/steps. Handrails will be added.
RC conversion will be forthcoming.
