Nice work as always Nektarios! Where do you get all those spare VLS cells from? Looking forward to seeing all ships sailing together around the Arsenals :thumbs_up_1:

Oooooooo! Sweet little PGs man! I like the design, nice and compact. They're scratch built right? If so where did you get plans?

Nektarios the arsenal ships look magnificent, especially with the pe work on the masts and the extra antennas... :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

The japanese small craft have very interesting characteristics... Are they propelled by waterjets?

Show us a picture of the complete battlegroup... :wave_1: :wave_1:

They are quite mean looking little boats I have to say - I might whif some torpedo tubes onto the middle of one of those things, that's about the most I could do I think... Or else doubling their missile battery and making them Chinese, with eight C-801's.

I think a lighter background would let us appreciate them more, from what i see though, they look good and no doubt are up to the normal high standards you set.

They look Great Nektarios :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Happy Modeling
