1:72 Flower Corvette model
 

Revell AG Germany 1/72 H.M.C.S. Snowberry Flower Class Corvette - 05061
(http://www.ehobbies.com/mo-rvl-05061.html)

Does anyone have any experience with this company and/or the model set? Is it worth the 100$?

I haven't had one of these model sets in years, and I'm not very good at gluing the stuff together... but I'm currently taking art-classes, and hope to muster the 100$ that this one costs.
It's a 50-50 chance right now that I'll buy it before winter. If nothing else, then just for a school-time project.
:hmm:

We have a special forum for scale models, I´m moving this thread over there.

Thanks for moving it! Sorry :D

check out on ebay and you say lots of money.

The kit was produced by a British company called Matchbox, and I believe they sold the moulds to Revell. However, looking at the links elswhere in this thread, the Revell hull is in two halves, whereas in the Matchbox kit the hull comes in four pieces. So, it might not be the same model. [/url]

Wow, that's a really great detailed model.
have you made any custom parts for?

i can't beliefe that a 1 dollar (new and sealed) model from ebay can look so great.

ive only seen one fully built and yeah id say its worth the $100 but if you shop around you can buy cheaper and i know you can ive seen them for £24.99 in england which is about $45 to $50
