Shipbucket

Hopefully this kitbash isnt too awful before i finish it thouhg i have some questions
1. does this crane or davit work in this spot, can it successfully lower the rhib into the water and could i put another crane and rhib on the deck below it
2. I'm not very good with radars and im not sure what the best radar would be for my vessel to hopefully put in this spot (smart-s maybe or the radar used on the type 22 frigates)
3. does this setup work and if not what should i replace it with
4. can the current director i have assuming i put another on the rear of the ship direct the ak630s or no if not what can direct them
5. WHat is this and do i need it or can i replace it with the other missile director
6.also what is this and can i replace it with a gun director.
all feedback would be most appreciated and im sorry to ask so many questions over a simple kitbash im a newb
sorry to use an attachment also
p.s. i am not done adding the credits and new name i use paintbrush and i am not sure what font and font size shipbucket uses
ohh and i also forgot does the oto 76 work in its current location (im thinking the forward field of fire isnt ideal)
thank u once again for all comments and feedback

For crediting, I personally uses Arial Font 10 & Font 7. Looks rather nice for a new drawer.
1. Put the davits on the side makes things easier.
2. Russian radars ain't my specialty.
3. Should work out fine.
4 & 5. The director you currently have is the director for AK-630 IIRC.
Remember, torpedo goes on the missile line as well.

for torpedos i thought someone said its ok to have them there but there more there for neatness right now and for the davits which one
thanx a ton though

I like it. Very Russio-Italian in design.

I'm more looking at western radars then Russian because im doing a sort of western modernization of this class for a possible future AU and can any western directors direct AK-630 Im assuming no

Given the scale of the refit I can't see why not. But then, given the scale of the refit I can't see why they don't just scarp and/or sell her and buy a new western design.

yeah i know i know
my idea is a Yugoslavia that remains united and doesn't fall apart and they make these ships in partnership with the Romanians and somewhere in the mid 90s to early 2000s after retiring their old Kotors and Konis they buy 2 Typer 22 block 2s and give these ships and their two Tito class ships a similar modernization to keep them going until new ships arrive most likely being Gawrons
is it really that expensive that its more than even buying a new ship ?
i was largely influenced by the Romanian AU Type 22 and Chilean Type 22 ( i understand that these refits were 100% to already western ships and were much more limited)

Well, you're basically replacing all the weapons and sensors and presumably all the combat management systems as well. That's easily ½-1/3 the ships cost right there, and that doesn't cover installation and integration. Given how differently the Soviets designed their ships you'll probably have to rebuild large parts of the interior to accommodate all the new equipment which will further drive up the cost.
So yeah, it may actually be cheaper, in the long run at least, to buy a brand new ship.

so this is completely unrealistic?
does it at least work so far as in weight distribution and do the parts fit

I think unlikely is the word you should be looking for. From a purely technical stand-point I can't see why it couldn't be done, but from and economic stand-point I can't see it happening.
