This is the Mirage 1:350 kit of the flower class corvette HMS Zinna. being 1:350 scale it is, well tiny Blink



It has three sprees nicely moulded with nice detail. as a kit bash you could build it in an hour, but I think this could look quite special with a bit of time spent on it






The instructions are nice and clear cad drawings and there is a nice colour paint sheet with some narrative




In its own right its a nice little kit for a quick fix but...

I also got some of Eduards etch 3d crew which should really add some life to the model too and...



I also have the WEM etch set designed for the kit, now that should really help spice up the detail especially as it has an acoustic hammer for the bow Cool Cool




Altogether I think something a bit different in this scale that should look great when done. The best bit? I got the whole lot for £25 on eBay Cool Cool Cool

You certainly like your small scale ships. Strange thing is some of the parts look as detailed as the revell 1/72 version.
Man he took his time in the sun
Had a dream to understand
A single grain of sand
He gave birth to poetry
But one day will cease to be
Greet the last light of the library...We were here!

well strictly speaking she isn't small scale just a small ship.

the 1:72 scale revel kit is very old. I recall buying it as a teenager for £50 my most expensive model at the time. and its very basic in terms of detail.

just shows how far kits have come
