I guess I better get to work on the Amazon and Antelope soon, so we can have a 30th anniversary bash! Simply stunning, mate. Your 965M also looks top notch!

Excellent drawing. I love it.

One minor point, didn't the identification strip go all the way to the waterline?

I'm sorry to have to post my comments again but I have to say that this along with Bezo's Type 22's are my favourite drawings, not only because they are my favourite warships :) . I feel you've really captured the lines and character of this ship class.

I could look at this for hours :geek:

As much as I hate to say anything about this drawing, I note that the Type 909 domes are white (as on the Bristol)?? I've always thought they were uniform colour with the superstucture.

I also recall that some Type 42's had the domes removed for a period of time. Will you represent this form?

Speaking of my Type22s, I may have to revisit them, in order to check their hull colors. Any thoughts on that? But, yes, (and, btw, Charybdis, thanks for your compliment!), Hood's Type42 is nicely paired with my Type22.
As I said earlier, I may have to somehow find time and do the Falklands Type21. Then, if we could also have the HMS Andromeda and the other Leanders, plus the RFAs.
Oh, and someone needs to get up and do the Canberra, not to mention QE2! I have excellent drawings of the former...

These 2 drawings have left me speechless (which doesn't happen very often). Beautiful, beautiful work mate.

Great drawings! In time for this rather sad anniversary (for the Royal Navy, that is - guys in the Argentine Naval Aviation will probably have bit different opinion ;) ).
