HMCS Sackville

I visited the HCMS Sackville, Flower class corvette in Halifax the day before yesterday.  Fantastic visit.  While in the Maritime visit I had struck up a conversation by a guy who was a guide on the Sackville, and we talked for awhile.  When I said I had the 1:72 kit, he said he had built that one himself, and started telling me of the mods the kit needed to represent the Sackville.  I mentioned I intended to tour the ship.  He said he was headed back there, and took me aboard as his guest, and pointed out these areas personally.  He was a walking encyclopedia on the Sackville and the Flower class corvettes.  Got lots of pix.

There are a couple of builds of the Sackville going on at You-Tube.  They spent a lot of time modifying the 1:72 kit and installing all of the mods for it.  After about a year they had to take a break from their builds due to burn out.  The one build the guy is from Halifax, I wonder if he is the same guy.
