A historically inspired 1/700 scale plastic model kit set featuring two Flower-class corvettes of the Royal Navy and two same-scale German Navy U-boats. Flower-class corvettes were adopted as small anti-submarine escort vessels for coastal defense and convoy protection beginning with orders in 1939. Between 1940 and 1944, 140 were built in the United Kingdom and 123 in Canada, achieving notable success including the sinking of more than 40 submarines. This kit is a standalone release of the corvette kit that was originally included with the 2018 release featuring the Royal Navy heavy cruiser Exeter.
