Already reported on Model Shipwrights, but this Polish manufacture has just released Flower Class Corvette.  Actually 2 boxings: HMS Anchusa K186 and HMS Zinnia K98.

Numerous photos of the kit here:

Looking at the sprues shows that there are a lot of little parts. That means a lot of potential detail. Cool beans!

Thanks for the heads-up!

Nice! I like their 1/400 kits, haven't built any of the 1/350 ones though.

I have a soft spot for Flowers... these, not plants (allergies).

Cheers!

The deck and the details look very nice. The hull on the other hand is going to need a lot of work and has some pretty scary sink marks in it.
