Their placements suggests they're holes.
The ones on the stern are mooring cleats and such. Same on the stern. The upper ones in the middle is drains from the "gun deck" and the lower one is a gap under the gangway.

The guns are Italian. They are from the Willemoes class. They've been refurbished and repainted and upgraded to the SR model.

Btw, are you sure about the Stinger placement? On the Absalon they are placed on the platform just aft of the bridge.

do you have a pic of the weaponry of the ship? or an pic of the ships the guns came from? I can identify them, if I can see a bit of the rear of the turrets (an perfect sideview is good enough already) as the US (mk75) has an small 'hump' above the hatch, while the OTO one has an slightly larger hatch.

EDIT: ah, thiel answered my question. well then, then you have the wrong guns on....

Or to be more precise, all the Danish 76mm guns except for the ones used on the Niels Juel class were modernized when the Willemoes class was retired in 2000. As a result the guns used on the Huitfeldt class could be used on Thetis next year or a StanFlex 300 tomorrow. It makes it problematic to find out exactly where the individual weapons comes from. Same with the Harpoon and SeaSparrow/ESSM launchers.

Here a picture of an identical danish 76 mm OTO Melara (but mounted on a Flyvefisken Class). Concerning the stinger I've placed them aft direct at the missile-line (in template) because as I understand it they aren't mounted but MANPADS and I'm not aware if there are special firing spots.

They are manpads, but the RDN uses a fixed launcher.

It's called a Sea Scorpion 1

And here it is in SB scale

Thanks! And for the launchers too. I'll reckon they will be placed same spot as on Absalon because the similarity. I'll investigate in that so I can place it right

It really is the only place you can put it and give it a proper arch of fire.
You're likely to see an HMG there as well.

Also, as this picture shows, the rear edge of the bridge should be black all the way down.


And here's a better and more recent one.


If you haven't seen it before, MAB has a great number of pictures of the class.

Would you really place the Stinger there? What about the blast?
Btw thanks for the close up of the bridge. That's really useful, and I've already corrected my original (not attached yet).
