Are these shells?

[Letum]

Are those copper coloured things round the gun area shells?
Thankyou for any help.

Since it's a shielded gun and not a full turret I'd say yes.
What manner of ship is that?

From the linkname I'm guessing Flower Class

Thanks.
It is a Flower Class.

Nice looking model, any other pics? Gotta love the Flowers, despite the fact that they'd roll on wet grass...

The Flower class seams to be one of the most modeled and photographed ships.

If you look around the site you will also find a VIIC surfacing just before it sank
after depth charging by a flower, followed by 3-4 survivors being picked up.

That does seem a fairly unsafe way to stow live shells in a combat situation though :hmm:

On the other hand, any engagement in which a Flower corvette has to use that many shells means the Flower has either won before using them all or sunk before being able to use them all...
