1/72 Flower Class 'Compass Rose'.

I have a old Matchbox kit, made up with a lot if pieces missing and thought it would something different if I attempted my 'rusty-crusty'.

Now this is a part built, ex RC build and is not easy to work on but I shall give it a go. Not sure if this will look better, being a larger size than the sunken subs I made...we shall see. I thought of doing the Compass Rose's final resting place, a bit beat up and ravaged. I love the book and the film 'The Cruel Sea.' and thought, there are a lot made as statics and RC versions but, not one of her final resting place.

Will be watching with interest. Have just started the Revell HMCS Snowberry. Was also thinking of doing as Compass Rose. Great minds!
