Really nice, really nice. Meko200 sure is the most handsome western design.

Lovely to see the MEKO 200 being given a makeover.

Damn that’s fine, I didn’t realise the bow was that sharp but otherwise, neat!

On a side note I think there’s a badge for Arunta lying around

A very nice rendering, if somewhat non-standard. I like the shadows on the navigation lights in particular, and the screw is maybe the best variable-pitch unit I've seen.

I think I would render antennas and ECM arrays somewhat differently, though. The VHF and especially the long HF whips are generally narrower than this (Valcom-Guelph's PDFs aren't loading for me this morning, and I use them as a general guideline, but the mounting plates for those antennas are usually like 30-35cm in diameter). The UHF antennas on the radar tower are hard to see at 1:1 scale, and the direction-finding aerials on the topmast are similarly hazy. Personal preference.

Very nice, I only hate those blended wing body versions of the ASM and ESSM. The black lines on the part sheet versions are there for a reason.

Btw, are you certain the zinc anodes are in the positions you put them?

I adjusted the zinc anodes slightly to better match my sources. As for the missiles, I feel that is a matter of personal preference, but I've put in a dark grey line on the ESSM as a compromise. Considering the strakes are even less defined on the newer Block II missiles I think this does it better, black is just too heavy a line. I've been trying to find a middle ground for the newer and older styles (you may have noticed that my shading is considerably less aggressive this time, and no panel lines), and I still don't think I'm quite there yet
