Started this at the last playday. Slow progress while I'm trying to finish the Rooivalk.
This appears to be a new manufacturer from Ukraine. Mouldings look pretty reasonable with a fair amount of detail

Quote from: Bigkev on April 11, 2026, 02:27:16 PMLooking very good together. Surprising to see the difference in beam of both ships despite being similar in length.
A super collection being created.
The type 21 Frigate is shorter by some degree, must be the photo angle.
Type 22 -445 ft, beam -48 ft 5in
Type 21 -384 ft, beam -41ft 8in

Progress. Fuselage just about complete; just the aerials and other bits an bobs to go on.
At least most of the parts for the HC4 conversion are in the kit: hinge for folding tail, the bigger window for the door (the hole had to be enlarged). The nose was modified to remove the FLIR. There are some different aerials and things.
