Let’s say the Pummel guns are the main turrets, Pulse cannons are the 5", mainly for defence, The Mk.43 torpedo are in six rapid reload vertical launch tubes between the fore and aft funnels. there is forward firing only, Sonic Disruter cannon as the main destruction at the bow along with forward firing Heavy Nutron Pulse rifles forward firing at the bow blisters. She can fire a heavy salvo broadside with 6 Pummel guns in up to a 75 deg arc but her main punch is the forward weapons[:P]. Speed? I haven’t got a clue.
I’ll be working on a space carrier (the Academy 1/800 Kitty Hawk I bought for hardly anything) for air support later, after I finish some real subjects.
I also worked on the RHIBs, crew and helo for the Spruance and Perry. I worked some on the Spruance bow spray and think I have it where I want it [*-)]
I’m back to completing the Spruance and Perry. Here is where the Spruance is as of last night. I’m not 100% happy with the bow spray but studing actual pictires I need to extend the splash a little further back down the bow. Easy addition while I finish one more motor small boat.
Although I’m impressed with your water, I must say, the thing that I am most intrigued about is how the flags seem to match the speed of the ship. Like water, a flag needs to reflect how its being affected by the forces upon it. Very nice job on all the details of describing what it feels like being underway.
I don’t use the decal flags anymore. I print diffrent sizes out on printer paper and glue the cut out flags to aluminum foil. After bending it like I want I then attach it to the lanyard. I look at flags a a good uncoucious feel for ship speed, wind speed and direction.
If you do the same thing, don’t forget that the WW2 flag just had 48 stars.
I am really liking the many uses of foil. [:D] Ya, tell me about the 48 star thing and putting that flag on a USS Constitution for the War of 1812[proplr]
So here it is buttoned up and black based. I’m going to load fule on inner pylons, Mk82’s on MERs mid hard point and napalm on the outer TERs from the Hase weapons set.
I completed the light grey and sprayed a gloss coat. I’ll get another gloss coat after the decals. The canopy has a terrible fit but oh well. I wasn’t expecting much from the kit and not going to worry about it.
