The Flowers were really a good idea, derived from whaling boats (?) or so i think. In the early war when they did not have radar, the U-boats would outrun them when they spotted them, since the top speed of the Flowers was something around 16 knots maximum.
Later in the war they became a real terror .. especially against submerged boats.

Very nice model, thanks for sharing !
