the gun is primarily a self-defence weapon, the Harpoons, SLAMs and ESSMs more than make up for it.

We could probably have a group build ( each of us building our own boats but sharing progress and notes),.. Thoughts?,.. This will help me stay motivated and continue? The PDFs will already be trouble shooted so all you will have to do is cut and build

i prefer my ships waterline for two reasons;
1;thats how you usually see them in real life
2;im crap at building hulls

Lol! herky! Thats true, plus It will speed up the build too! B-maniac that's right I will search my emails they must still be in there!,. I just have to redraw everything all the way from the beginning,.. 1:200 scale was the desired scale right? I will follow the traditional way of building the internal hull structure and skin for sides and main deck,.. Once I confirm its fine, I'll pass it along to you guys via email to build too,..

got to go around two canadian frigates years ago.they were the Saskatchewan and Qu Appelle

[HMCS]

Sweet !,.. Any images or reference would be good to hav as well! By my calculations this model will be 26.39 inches long

[Fishcarver]

how big the model is? ;-) JR

[HMCS]

Yup! 26+ inches! Nice size!

[HMCS]

If we dropped it down to just slightly less than 17" long than the hull sides wouldn't have to be stitch together,..
