Hello I am intrested in building a model of HMCS Thunder, a Bay class Minesweeper used by Canada from the 1950s till the 1990s.As they were based on the British Ton class I was wondering if any kits were avaliable?They were based in my time in the Navy on the West Coast training Junior Officers. I used to see them all the time in Esquimalt. In my time they were manned mostly by Naval reserves and were classed as Patrol boats. Enclosed is a pic in service and of them awaiting disposal. Thanks and Cheers ONG

I wonder if one could find a model of a Ton Class minesweeper. The Bay Class were derivatives of the Ton Class which was a true UK success. Does anyone know if a Ton Class model is currently available?
