 I forgot to include Gerald's kit review!  It wasn't on the presentation so I missed it.  Appologies Gerald!

Gerald is building some 1/700 Flower Class Corvettes made by Aoshima.  This particular kits aren't available separately but included with the HMS Exeter,  kit number 05272.   This particular kit is called "The Atlantic Fleet Convoy Strategy".  


The kit depicts two different style Corvette's.  One with the mast forward of the bridge, and the other aft.  The kit includes both photo etch and wood deck stickers.  Gerald reported that some of the photo etch is over the top and he's not planning on using all the supplied parts.  As you can see these are extremely well detailed kits for 1/700 scale.  To put this into perspective, these kits are about 3 1/2 inches long.  


Although this is a fairly recent kit (2018), they were quite popular and difficult to find.  Keep an eye out for them on eBay.

Gerald and Roger are going to work on some photos.  We'll be looking forward to those, gents!
