Something else...
Trimaran corvette concept (of Patria/ Uudenkaupungin työvene) was a rival to Visby in "SU corvette 2000" -competition and came 2nd due to higher price. However, RTN was interested of the concept, so an order of 4 vessels with Saab/Bofors/Madsen guns and censores were signed in 2008 with Royal Thai Navy; with price of 740us$ to replace Ratanakosin and Tapi-class corvettes. It's said that politics have involved in this, since the Crown prince of Finland; Oskari, claimed to be dating Ms. Sirivannari Nariratana; Princess of Thailand...

Looks really nice, and intresting idea of an export depacle.
I would myself perhaps increase the tone differences there in the hull to deceipt the angle of the hulls merging in the bow, perhaps add seperating dark grey line between the color blocks?

Thanks for comments, Chaps. So, bigger ships you asked for?
Concept design of RFNs "wet daydream". However, the price tag of nearly 2 billion US$/ship is generating resistance in Finnish parliament.
What's with all of these broken images, its like photobucket all over again

You're quoting a post from early 2017. It was posted before Photobucket and Dropbox went offline.

The trimaran corvette's Harpoon installation doesn't make a ton of sense to me. The ship is obviously very beamy - why are the missiles clustered on the starboard side? There is more than enough beam for them to be located side by side, firing over each other.

Contact Sebu via PM and I'm sure he can send you the originals.
True, I'm about to start a jpg scale cruiser and it would be good for ideas but i feel I should do it on my own as I need to make a completly new part sheet and everything for the scale
