History is interesting because aside from the fact that it is written by the victors it is highly subjective. Whereas a textbook will be subjected to many reviewers and still get it wrong, the internet is full of stuff which has absolutely no verification whatsoever so relying on a single source, even if it is Wikipedia, will get you into trouble. In physics we have this drawing of being precise but wrong (I am 100% accurate that the cat is precisely dead/alive):

Ya' gotta love Heisenberg. I had a student argue with me that because I was in a state of quantum flux and he was too then that made it a two state system/universe and that I was incapable of testing his knowledge from my framework ... I am so glad that I am retired ...

This project was started in 2015 but was delayed, firstly by my wife's death and then by COVID. Information on Woodstock has come primarily from the Archives in Ottawa and Kingston and although that is a 1000km trek from Port Stanley, it pales in comparison against the cost and time required to access British sources. This means that any attempt to create a highly accurate model of Woodstock at a specific time in history is doomed to failure. Since the model will go on display at the local Legion Branch 410 here in Ontario and where visitors may spend ten seconds looking at it, I have decided to model an approximate time period sometime after the North Africa campaign, late 1943. I am building a wood display box and have mounted it on the basement wall where the model is stored safely between construction efforts.

Anyone of us can go to Wikipedia and read this:
“ Woodstock was ordered as part of the Revised 1940–41 Flower class building program. This revised program radically changed the look of the Flower-class corvette. The ships of this program kept the water-tube boilers of the initial 1940–41 program, but now they were housed in separate compartments for safety. The forecastle was extended, which allowed more space for berths for the crew, leading to an expansion of the crew. The bow had increased flare for better control in heavy seas. The revised Flowers of the RCN received an additional two depth charge throwers fitted amidships and more depth charges. They also came with heavier secondary armament with 20-mm anti-aircraft guns carried on the extended bridge wings. All this led to an increase in displacement, draught and length.[9] Woodstock was laid down by Collingwood Shipyards Ltd. at Collingwood 23 May 1941 and launched 10 December 1941. She was commissioned 1 May 1942.[10] During her career Woodstock had three significant refits.” There are some notable differences between the Woodstock and early flower class corvette found in the Revell kit. The sharp flared bow is for me a big one. Have you seen: ▲

Doing the research can be a great challenge, but it is so delightful to do. You have made a great start and I look forward to following your build!😊😊

If you are kitbashing an old version kit of this vessel into a major refitted design. You are really taking on a challenge.
Looking forward to seeing what you accomplish. ▲
