BAe Type 26 Frigate Proposal

I stumbled upon some source material and using this along with existing 3D pictures previously posted in the bucket I have drawn from scratch my interpretation of a Type 26 Frigate design.

Armament:
- 1 x Mk.8 155mm Gun
- 2 x Quad Harpoon launchers
- 2 x Twin torpedo launchers
- 2 x 30mm Mk.2 30mm Guns
- 2 x Phalanx 1B CIWS
- 2 x 12.5mm RHMG
- 2 x 16 CAAM Missile launcher cells
- 16 x Mk.41 Strike length VLS for Tomohawk.

This is the first time I have tried drawing something like this, so comments and suggestions would really be appreciated :D

I'd swap out your radar for the ARTISAN that I drew:

It needs to be recolored

Who wants to bet that it'll be fitted for, but not with half the weapons & systems on there if built?

That is the 4.5" that is found on the T22s, T23s, and current T45s right?

Yes, and it's likely they would be pulled from decomm'd T22s and T23s.

Also, if it can fit Tomahawk, it can fit SM-series. It might not have AEGIS but it still has some ability to use them, and if nothing else, ESSM.

Please use the props for the Type23 that I drew. They are more likely to resemble the real deal,instead of the 'shovelring' you presently have (I know: generic 1 gen stuff from the toolbox here!) Otherwise very promising drawing, though not a particularily elegant vessel.

Note that 2 others SB Artists made previous attempts to draw this design

If this ship is YOUR INTERPRETATION, move to the "Own warships" section ? :|
