The Revell Flower would be an interesting subject for some conversions- Bob
Pearson's great site shows his conversion of his into HMCS Wetaskwin, a short
forecastle Canadian corvette-
It looks like a fun project, and pretty straightforward except for bulding a new
bridge and (on most RCN corvettes) widening the stern if you decided to go that
far.

If I do another Flower, I was thinking of HMCS Battleford or Chicoutimi-(both as
short forecastle corvettes) what keeps me from it is all those photo-etched
4"shell holders around the 4" gun bandstand which I get a headache just
remembering.
Chicoutimi was a short forecastle corvette for her entire life, I believe
Battleford was refitted into a long forecastle corvette but in the HMCS Agassiz
AOTS there are some great shots of her in heavy seas.
There were also a few that had a postwar career in Civilian hands such as
Sudbury which became a salvage tug.
I saw a ready to run corvette model at my local hobbyshop which was done as HMCS
Agassiz. A strange mix of an entirely Revell superstructure (Not correct for
Agassiz) but a new hull with the Canadian wide stern-
