I judge Bombhead's to be vastly superior.

Thanks for the encouraging comments mates

Agreed, that bombhead has nicely updated this, but I question the hangar, as it was specified to accept the larger Seaking and EH101, rather than two Sea Lynx, so the hangar needs to be enlarged. I would also judge the earlier drawing to be more accurate around the bridge.

Is there a new Exocet launcher on the parts sheets anywhere ?.By 89 the Exocet was being replaced by Harpoon as in Type 22 batch 3.Typical build time in UK yards being about 7 years.British specs was always being changed half way through building,leading to massive delays and cost overuns.And yes Bill the bridge does look a bit plain so I swopped it for Miho's.I worked on the theory that since a chopper is statistically only available for ops 30% of the time two smaller ones would be better than one large.IMO the ship impact of such a large chopper and hanger would have been too much on such a relatively small hull.The good thing about never were designs is you can take a few liberties,like the R2D2s

Awesome drawing of this destroyer. Of course, I'll make the crest for her

Many thanks Kim.That will complete the drawing nicely.

I love that drawing indeed aswell! Quite great piece of work! Though I've to agree with Hood about her name..

An interesting development, and quite within the design parameters, so sure, go with two. The only problem I could foresee is that the hangar would have to be wide enough to accomodate the two, and I'm not sure if there is enough spave for that. All that said, a very nice drawing. the Type 43 would have been quite a formidable warship; and yes, a pox on John Nott

On the starboard side, there's a void between the forward superstructure and forward funnel which should be filled by the visible section of the port situated hangarwall. Otherwise an excellent rendition, and I am especially pleased with the fact that it is rendered with both starbord and port elevations!
