Royal Navy Type 23, HMS Richmond as at 2020

Thanks to Waterwings and Gunship for the inspiration with some of my own tweaks.

Wow, very much at the limit of how much detail can be presented at this scale. Not 100% sure how I feel about the roughly to-scale Harpoon (which should be horizontal).

Looks great!

Personally I like the "to-scale" Harpoon - does this mean the other missile (sorry I'm not sure what it is) is also to-scale? I think an easy way to improve it would just be to flip the Harpoon horizontal (all anti-surface missiles are shown this way)

A very fine addition to the archive, although personally I'm not the biggest fan of how the detailing has been done, but that's a personal Stylistics net pic and doesn't take away from the overall quality of the drawing in anyway.

Remarkably, Harpoon is still shown diametrically over-size on this drawing, never mind CAMM!

Yes I agree that the missiles could do with being a wee bit smaller. Appreciate the feedback. Another 12 Type 23s to do!

Surely some of our enterprising newer members can take a stab at a properly scaled Harpoon :)

Ship launched Harpoon is 15ft long. I wasn't too far off. Have shortened the body and stubbed the main wings.

CAMM is just over 10ft in length, so the drawing is correct on that basis. Probably the body could be a bit thinner.
