Hedingham Castle | 1/48 scale | WW2 Castle-class Corvette

A scratch built 1/48 scale corvette on display at Wardown Park, Luton UK. Home of the Luton and District model boat club.
I believe the Hull may be fleetscale with scratchbuilt super structure.
History
HMS Hedingham Castle was a Castle-class corvette constructed for the Royal Navy during the Second World War. Before being completed, the ship was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy, renamed HMCS Orangeville and used as a convoy escort for the rest of the war. Following the war, the ship was sold to Chinese interests for mercantile use and renamed Ta Tung in 1946. In 1947, the ship was renamed Hsi Lin before being taken over by Nationalist China in 1951, rearmed and renamed Te An. Te An remained in service until 1967.
The Castle-class corvette was an ocean going convoy escort developed by the United Kingdom during the Second World War. It was the follow-on to the Flower-class corvette, and designed to be built in shipyards that were producing the Flowers. The Castle-class was a general improvement over the smaller Flowers which were designed for coastal rather than open ocean use.
The Castle-class corvettes started appearing in service during late 1943.

Congratulations for the very nice job done. the most I can do is build kit. I have a 1/48 Hunt class Escort destroyer made from a Sirmar hull, which I bought completed in the UK. thank you for the video and best regards from Paris!

[@rcmodelwarships6893]

the builder did tell me where the hull was from, but i cant remember. I think it was fleetscale but could have also been Sirmar.

Handsome model. Better open a production line and build a whole fleet of them for use as drones seeing as we don't seem able to afford many full size ships these days...

[@rcmodelwarships6893]

many a true word said in jest.

[@janwitts2688]

I'd want that as a waterline model in backdrop and support of a wargame beach landing dash raid...

[@Brooman56]
