My Two boat task force
Here is pitcure of both my boats sailing on a boating lake not far from my home, the larger of the two was commandeered by my 8 year old son for a trainning mission he had in mind, which gave me an excuse to build another one, which is the smaller boat the picture, as the young captain needed escorting while getting use to his new command!
They are both made from balsa wood, which the material for the hull, it is sealed with a acrylic varnish,painted over the top with enammel paint with clear varnish on top of the paint! The superstructure on the larger destoyer is made from thin plywood, and on the smaller frigate its made of plasticard!
I got the lynx helicoptors on Ebay from "The Dorest Print Man" I think it was, which are 3D printed by him!

This model is one of our club members he told me it's name but I forgot . She may be a sub hunter WW2.She is a scratch build with a lot of detail & I like the looks of her.

- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralHi TD,
Admittedly there is a certain similarity in hull shape, not surprising since both classes were based on current commercial trawler / whaler designs.
But that's as far as it goes. Attached is a photo (port side) of an early (short forecastle) Flower, K63 Picotee.
Put that 'head to head' with the pic of Baffin's starboard side, and stbd view of the model in the video, and the differences are immediately apparent so I won't list them here.
Y'all can play 'Spot the differences' 😉
First clue for me was the Pennant number; T275. 'T' for Trawler.
The Flowers had pennant numbers beginning with 'K' for 'K'orvette😉 coz 'C' was already in use for Cruisers and Carriers.
So I looked for HMS or HMCS T275 and immediately hit HMS Baffin. Digging deeper I also found this on UBoat Net-

Q.E.D. 😉
Easy mistake to make TD.
Cheers, Doug 😎Liked by Rookysailor and GARTH - GARTHCommodoreThe model builder just sent me this info HMCS BAFFIN Western Isles Class Admiralty MS/AS Trawler Built in Collingwood, Ontario in 1941 Served out of Halifax, NS during the war Sold out of service 1945.Liked by RNinMunich
I have got it working but not before carrying out some modifications.
Firstl was one of the geared motors would not fit as it wanted to go through the deck cover. I made a small tool box, cut the cover and covered the end of the motor.
The second was that the lift height would never get the boat over the railings. I added a 40mm spacer to increase the height. All is good now.😊
