Actually, more british and dutch stuff. British weapons, hulls and engines wit dutch radars and us missiles seems to have been standart

If we assume that she hasn't gained any structural defects over time, there's still the fact that you're dealing with a 25 year old hulk. You'd need to strip her of pretty much all existing equipment and more-or-less completely redesign her innards to accommodate the replacements.

Thanks for the Response!

Small correction! ;) Over here we use our own hulls and engines and some electronics. Everything else is imported.

Again, would recommend giving it a shot yourself. Look at the various drawing guides scattered around the forum. Pull Gollevainen's Slava into Paint and play around with it yourself... this is how all of us got started. Good luck!
Thanks for the Reply! :)

Yea, it IS a bit presumptuous, but I want to put it out their as a friendly idea and see what other people come up with. I have started to tinker around wit paint a bit to see what I come up with, but I definitely have a long way to go as I have no idea how to shade and Cutting and pasting is proving to be a hassle.

Thanks again,and I'll keep you updated on my progress

a few points:
- why is the funnel even bigger?
- the loss of firepower by removing those large missile launchers and replacing them with 8 harpoons is just......
- the main gun, forward, is an 1950's design and is no longer in production.
- the APAR is so far not used without an volume search radar, such as SMART-L. I don't think SPS-49 can do it's job
- the APAR is an old inaccurate drawing, there is an better one on the dutch parts sheet.
- I don't see any AA missiles on board, are you planning to add that?

I don't think you'd want to cut down the deckhouse to install those Harpoons, not when you have other places you could mount them without removing structure.
