Revell 05132 43.9 cm HMCS Snowberry Model Kit

High quality parts, a lot of fun for the kids.

Great product

An excellent kit of a mid-war Flower class corvette. Very highly detailed and the best depiction of a hedgehog mortar that I've seen in any scale. One thing that I would change is the listing of paint needed. Revell Germany uses their paint numbers only. Cross referencing with other manufacturers' paint or listing by FS number would help. Also, the decal on the gun house should have a blue background. O

I have built many models, this one has good detail and many parts, but you will need to do alot of sanding,fitting,filling and cleaning. It has alot of release agent on it ( prob made in Poland). Also has a missing railing part never designed into the sprue ( G-453) wrote Revell for replacement,but it was never in sprue so I doubt they will have it. It's an expert level model so making a railing should be within your skill,If you want a decent allied ship to go with your fleet,this is a nice addition.

There are over 500 pieces, and every single one needs to be painted. So plan on painting a lot. And make sure you have forceps, because some of those pieces are very small. I've been working on this model for at least 40 hours, and I am not done yet. So if you want a detailed model that has really good fit and finish and will keep you occupied for a long time, this is it!

It is challenging but within my model building skill level. I prefer building wooden models but many have poor, incomprehensible or non-existent instructions

This model is 17 in long not 43 in . 43 is cm . I have been waiting till I finished to continue my review. A very interesting model of a neglected subject. Extreme details. But, if there is a slot to connect a piece it’s not going to fit. If there is a small hole to put a piece in that won’t fit either. The instructions are good once you get used to them. Please don’t fit the rudder when connecting the hull halfs. It’s extremely flimsy. I figured I should watch videos of assembly and watch him break the rudder also.im not going to build another from this company during the pandemic

Great model at a good price. Interested in history of Canada and it will be a great addition to m y collection.

I bought the kit as I know very little about this type of ship and as a keen modeller wanted to learn more about this subject. The kit contains a potted history of the type and its exploits during the second world war. It seems the parts have been scaled down from Revells 1/72nd scale kit. I will be enhancing the kit with the Pontos brand detail set available elxewhere.

tengo que montarlo pero tiene muy buena `pinta como todas las maquetas de Revell

Really liked the detail and scale of this model. It was close to a 6 month project and it turned out great. Many compliments.

Tutto comincia negli anni ' 70 quando la casa inglese Matchbox decide di sviluppare e portare in commercio un kit per l'epoca eccezionale : una corvetta classe " Flower " in scala 1/72 ! Già la scelta della scala di dimostra coraggiosa : un bestione di oltre 80 centimetri per più di un chilo di peso . Il periodo però era quello che era , tecniche di stampaggio e produzione che non riuscirono a valorizzare altremodo un modello imponente e diventato un classico nel modellismo statico moderno . Io ne ho realizzate più di 4 versioni , sempre su commissione , e sempre con ottimi risultati . Riproposto più volte da Revell , nel frattempo divenuta proprietaria del marchio e degli stampi della defunta casa britannica , il modello originale mostrava però ormai il fiato corto . Le moderne realizzazioni di matrice orientale dominano il campo ed ecco che Revell imbrocca l'idea buona : ridurre alla metà la scala ( 1/144 , con possibilità quindi da parte del modellista di gestore spazi e possibilità ... e realizzare nuovi stampi , più precisi ed accurati . Infatti se la base di riproduzione è la stessa , pantografata al 50% , alcuni particolari sono decisamente migliorati ed il downsizing gli ha fatto solo bene .. Si è perso infatti l'aspetto " giocattoloso " del modello in 1/72 che era difficile per i non esperti da mascherare e si può realizzare un ottima nave . Possibilità di personalizzazione a iosa , essendoci enorme disponibilità di documentazione storica , disegni e foto a rigurado . Buon lavoro quindi , accludo alcune foto di uno dei modelli in 1/72 da me realizzati per far vedere ai meno esperti uno dei risultati possibili..
