Nice design! May I ask how much the Caledonian Navy paid for one of Hero frigates? And will the ASW version be cheaper?

thanks!

All I can say, is that they are not cheep.

I suppose that. Quality never was cheap!

Thanks heuhen

Nice work heuhen, I only wonder about the arrangement of the chaff dispensers on your latest design, IMHO I would put a third one more after or move the second one back

Well done heuhen. Good to see Caledonia live again.

thank you
added additional chaff/"bomb-thrower" on the front of the hangar structure, it's a under deck loading system, just a number from a self loading system. perhaps a little overkill, but more is sometime better...

Anything else, before I finish?
