Having just made a 1/72 corvette I noted that the hull construction lends itself to being lengthened...

And here I thought you stretched a Chevy Corvette into a Nomad.  :wacko:

I was thinking along similar lines too.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

If you stretch a corvette, you might just end up with a frigate... 😉
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Anymore of this  and I may have to do a little red corvette- navy style.

That's very nice  but I was thinking more inspired by Hms Nith

The Flower-class was itself a stretch of a whale-killer, so a further stretch isn't too outré.

Are you considering in place of or supplemental to the Castle-class?

tigercat

I guess it would be supplemental . My initial  vision is  sort of Black Swan Class light . So maybe Black Cygnet class. It will involve  2 x 4.7 inch singles and a quad bofors .

So work has started on the stretch Corvette. . Nomad was available  in ww 2 timescale so HMS Nomad she is as it seems apt.
