Hi, I just saw this, and I can tell that the gun used on the Willemoes-Class isn't the one shown at the large picture, and I'm quite sure that the gun shown on the model, which I think could be from the museum in Aalborg, isn't the correct one too. All pictures I have found of this ship show the same gun, and according to the Navy informations the gun that was used on this wessel is described as the OTO-Melara 76mm Mk M/71 LvSa, and it's even different from the version that the Danish Navy used later for the Standard Flex Class - even if they look similar.
I do write this too, just to hear how the project is developing?
I've seen the model at the museum too, and I've previoulsly often seen the ship in the harbour of my town, and for quite some time I've been lokking for prints as I would like to build this ship, but I had no luck, so how did you manage?
Regards
Steffen, Denmark
