SO, I'll add a RHIB.
I'll ditch the sea wolf. Can you point me at a Manpad model? that would be cool.
Where can I find comms gear? And an EO device? :?
The location will probably be mid North Sea. Would davits or a ramp be better?

Stingers can be found here
Depends on the timeframe as stern ramps have only gotten fashionable within the last couple of years or so.
Comms gear are those whip antennas and white and grey bubbles found on all modern warships.

Ah. Well I was going to add a UHF antenna, i'll put some whips and balls on as well. Maybe a little mast forward of the main mast?
It's probably davits then. I'm building sometime between 20-40 years ago :P
Those stingers aren't working. They copy into paint with a black background, and if I try to switch it too white, I lose a load of the details (that I cant see when it's on black). Is there another link or am I doomed to rebuild it? :P
Also, could I use the sea scorpion 2 instead of manpads?

Pondering it, are there any UK or Dutch MANPADS, or would they all just use the stinger anyway?

I don't think the Dutch have ever made their own manpads.
The Blowpipe seems to fit the bill.

Hmm... I might just use the sea scorpion 2, on the top rear structure.

Updated version. Funky new stuff, like a RHIB and such.
Here you go:

You cannot have a RHIB bay in the hull on something this small. You'll have to carry it the old fashioned way. On deck.

Old fashioned RHIB added, in exchange for the one that wouldn't work :P
So right now it is armed with a 76mm, two GPMG's, and a stinger launcher. I'm happy :)

What would crew look like? I'm beginning to think about life rafts and such.
