Hi,


I'm looking for the dimensions of the Naval Strike Missile (NSM) canister on-board RNoN Fridtjof Nansen class frigates (Royal Norwegian Navy), in order to scratch build and add to the original kit produced by Dodo Models in 1/700 scale. (viewtopic.php?f=16&t=159312)

Generic information of this class:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fridtjof_N ... ss_frigate
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HNoMS_Frid ... nsen_(F310)


I wonder if anyone could help me or share the dimensions of the canister where the NSM is stowed, as shown in the photos bellow:

Hi,

Any clue about the number and location of the RWS (Remote Weapon Station) provided by Kongsberg Defence Systems, installed on Fridtjof Nansen class frigates?

Many of you mentioned you would like to build the Nansen class after modification with NSM. I will provide a free supplementary part to the customers who have already purchased the Nansen kits. It will come with two NSMs, one helicopter and other small PEs. It will be released around June. You will only need to pay for the shipping fee or I can ship it to you with other kits. Thanks for your support all the time! Sorry for the inconvenience.
