I wondered how a German Version of the M Class Frigates would look like. So I designed this Corvette sized patrol Vessel for my Germany post WWII AU.



coments are welcome and will be answerd
I hope I credited right. If I have forgot somebody please tell me thx

I'm seeing a rather top heavy hull with a rudder that doesn't fit the era (Which is?) With the hull penetration of the 76mm and torpedoes its looking to be a cramped hull

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

I don't understand where all new beginners manage to get those ridiculous old parts from, since on the main page there are only updated parts and the same in the forum.

When I am kitbashing I use the parts from the drawings I use.
OK maybe I should have mentioned that first, but at this stage of the discussion I am more interested in coments to the concept and the layout of the desing than in coments if the parts are actual or outdated. please don't get me wrong I take that point and I am awere that I have to replace all the parts when I eventualy finish the drawing. But in that stage I am satisfied with the design as it is for my personal use and I am just working in the concept and layout suggestions. I will work in the new Parts when I am in mood for that Kind of work.

ok the first Point I got is that the boat is to short

OK I think I have fixed the length problem and the ship looks more stable now.



By that I have worked the new Parts in. I hope this design is now workable.
@heuen you are right It looks much better with the new parts thx

just an check list.

- updated gun: looks like you did.
- updated Sea sparrow launcher an missile: yes and missile doesn't look updated.
- Harpoon launcher: wrong launcher/old launcher/not updated.
- RAM CIWS: looks updated
- Helicopter: old and bad version... there should be an better one somewhere...
- propeller: that propeller is an big nono. that propeller should have been taken outside and shoot!


one thing I am thinking about is that one of the directors (illuminator) is what I think is an bad position, now the mast next to the funnel and the aft radar is in the way for it. (have you ever tried to see trough a wall!)

thx fir your comments

I hope I worked all in




here is the Batch II Variant

Looks much better, but i still would either design my own props or go hunt for a drawing with different kinds of props.

the Mk 48 launchers on the mod 2 are horribly placed, just place them on top of the main deck as the karel doorman class has
note that you have the USN Mk 75 gun, not the oto 76.

I ask of you to prove me wrong. Not say I am wrong, but prove it, because then I will have learned something new.

I have changed the hangar and the gun I hope the OTO Melara sheet ace posted in 2010 is the most actual on the bucket.
