As we are building the wishlist for Black Cat for 1/700 Flowers,
We need short fo'c'sle of both the RN & Canadian types,
and also the regular long foc's'le Canadian version with the squared off stern.
I have both Flowers from White Ensign, several HP releases, Jim Shirley and Naval Works, and they all have the narrow non-minesweeping stern. 'Twould be great to have proper Canadian ships.

...with the somewhat squared off transom and the single pom pom bandstand toward the rear of the aft deckhouse. I just checked the kit I have in order to confirm that this was the case. But I always wanted an RN version with the rounded stern so I can build one of the early war Flowers with a light gray/dark gray splinter camo. Hear that Black Cat?
But you are right about it being a short foc's'l version.
The kit is perhaps 30 years old, but it is as detailed and fine as the best 3D kits today. I don't know how they did that back then.
HTH,
