I was browsing the maritime titles at Pen & Sword Books/Seaforth Publishing and noticed that John Lambert and Les Brown have written a new book in the
Shipcraft Special series for modellers simply titled Flower Class Corvettes. It will be published in June and looks like it will be the definitive work on
modelling the Flower Class and should be on the shelf of every modeller visiting these forums. Priced at £20 if you pre-order I will definitely be picking up a
copy even though I do not make models. Further information here http://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/?product_id=1645

I have been umming and arring about getting this book. I was wondering what kind of information it includes and does it include much information about r/c
stuff.

Theres no information on r/c but loads of b/w photos, colour profiles and line drawings and a section on past & presently availble models, hope this helps
you make your mind up.

Thanks for the info. I was only really interested in r/c information. The couple of corvettes I intend to build will 'out of the box' type builds, so I
don't really need any info about details etc.
But, saying that I am enjoying building my first one, so maybe I will build one as a static display... |

I would suggest the following web site: http://www.rcgroups.com/scale-boats-55/
There is a lot of information on the Revell corvette and RC conversion. The people on this site are very helpful and truly RC experts. They are from all over the world with a large UK membership. I am confident that every question you may have will be addressed by experts at this site. |
