These drawings look good on first sight.

I do see a floating pixel on the forward HF band antenna on the funnel (just after the flag)

And a question.
Does the Smart-S MK2 have this light colour or darker on these units?

The Colombian Navy FS-1500.

As built in the 1980s, with a very spartan equipment.

After the MLU, with new radar set, Strales 76 mm gun, south korean SSMs, and two double Mistral missile stations.
Yes, Mitchel! The lost black pixel was a remain of a moved antennae! Thanks for your advice! In the pictures, the radar looks in a lighter gray, at least in the pictures around 2013.
Thanks to Mike and Eswube! Cheers!


Already corrected! Thanks Hood!

Apparently, after their completion the Colombians considered fitting a SAM system in 'B' position, either Albatros/Aspide or Crotale or Barak. Had that been done, these would have been quite potent vessels.

As for the drawing, perhaps consider 2x pixels thick of lighter hull shade under the main deck as the hull top was rounded.
Also, there was a gangway stowed under the starboard bridge wing.

Oh, my head! Yes, Hood! You are completely wright about the rounded hull. I am correcting it (in fact, I had painted your suggestion in the Malaysian vessel, and I had this task in the list, but as you can see, my memory is tricky!). And thanks also for the plank! I had not noticed it :oops: Cheers!

PS: In a spanish defence forum, columbian participants used to mention the SAM alternatives for this corvette. But since the early 2000s any of the alternatives (a wide range of missiles: since lightweight launcher for Aspide, to Crotale, including SeaSparrow in Mk.48 launchers, Barak, RAM, MICA, and recently SeaCeptor) fail to be implemented.
