The gun in these photos looks like an OTO Melara 76mm, and then your design needs only refinement in bow (grey line a bit lower, letters above it) and she is ready. Also helicopters on photos seems to be Westland Lynx.

yes, i agree, the model looks like that . but the article say it will be 5" gun and carrying 12 Sea King

some ships different from model, right

Yes, because models represent usually one of many proposed versions, but I am afraid I cannot read Thai.

The "12-18" refers to helicopters, so perhaps 18 Lynx or 12 Sea King, which seem true comparing capacity from Italian ships (AB-212 vs AS-61).

oops, my bad, i will translate a bit.

this article is about "Thai helicopter carrier maybe able to operate V/STOL aircraft"

- 7800 tons helicopter carrier from Bremer Vulkan
- Bremer was designing ski-jump with British specialist help
- weapon system are Sea Sparrow, 127mm gun from OTO Melara or FMC, Breda twin 30mm gun, and sonar.
- this ship were going to commission in 1997
- Thai navy have requirement of 12-18 naval fixed-wing attack aircraft for support 16000 marines
- we (article author) believe that the navy also planned to use the carrier to operate attack aircraft
- this carrier can carry 12 sea king size helicopter

Very nice, ship needs only a little refinement and is ready- as posted earlier. About Harrier capacity, this design perhaps could hold 8-10 Harrier and 1-2 Sea King maximum. 16,000 marines? This number is really large.

sorry for disappearing

Nice, but the WM on the mast and the Mk29 needs change with the newer parts and she will be perfect.

thanks

i think i already use WM from dutch parts sheet

but there is new version of Mk.29? i cannot find it ***edit: i found

Nice work.
