Long time ago I've begun a little project drawing all the three different PNS Babur the Pakistan Navy have had. The first one you've already seen (she is also uploaded in the archive) the Dido class cruiser (former HMS Diadem) which served 1957 - 1980 (in fact to 1984 but then under the name Jahangir) for Pakistan. Only to have them all in the same thread she is here


The next one is the County class destroyer (Pakistan classified her as a cruiser!) which was the former HMS London. She served the PN from 1983 to 1993. I've chosed to show her in the 1990 configuration because I've got the most solid and valid data for that period. Unless some of you discover some mistakes or failures I only miss two things. The radar in the red circle is either a Type 277M or 278M, and I really don't know how it looks. And the full red AA gun at beneath the aft funnel is a chinese 37 mm/63 Type 76 twin. I haven't drawn it yet, and maybe I don't have to, if some of you know of it would be at some russian/soviet ships already drawn? But here she is

Absolutely beautiful mate, especially the County Class.

well done

Excellent beginning of the year!

my only comment is that the main guns have had their drawing replaced, here is the county with the correct 4.5in guns: http://www.shipbucket.com/images.php?di ... 201963.png

I'm quite confused. This excellent Hood drawing is the base I've did PNS Babur from, and the guns from HMS Kent are not altered at all.
BTW thanks for your comments. Still I hope for some help to my two mentioned issues

Edited Sorry Ace! I've discovered what you mean. Apparently my base is the HMS Kent before finally uploading. I must admit that you got sharp eyes. I haven't seen the difference my self. THANKS

the barrel is shorter, and some small details have been changed on that gun acelanceloet linked to.

With the help from Gollevainen I've got my chinese gun (which appear to be the same as the russian V11) and thanks to Acelanceloet's sharp eyes the first post is updated. The only thing (I'll hope) left is the radar issue

I think the difference in the radar is only electronics. perhaps the M version have more power than the standard version, or something similar.

Thank you Henrik. I've thought that myself, but all my pictures of PNS Babur 84 hide exactly this radar so I can't be certain. But it would be rather nice if the only thing I have to do is to remove the red circle
