1/72 HMS Bryony long forecastle corvette (Matchbox)
This is one of the few kits I ever built, it was for the crew of HMS BRYONY and was presented to the captain LT/COM TOM HAND, MBE. I converted the matchbox corvette 1/72 scale, into a long forecastle corvette, adding extra deck space, metal handrails, new orlikons 5 in number, also rearranged the carly floats around the smoke stack, also added extra boxes behind the 4 inch gun and new anchor chain, the ship is how she was after her 1943 refit at Morpeth Dock, Merseyside , England
Ron literally wrote the book on the HMS Bryony.
