Proposed Thailand DDG
BY Somyot Khuptawathin
1/350 Propposed Thiland DDG based on Udaloy Class

NOTE: THIS MODEL WAS JUST AN IDEAL, NO ONE IN REALITY.

This Russian Udaloy class DDG model of mine was basicly built from Chinese made kit ( I don't know kit brand ). Kit parts are not good in detail (seem to be clunky). So it's a hard job to make this model look massive and good in detail. . Thank to parts of my damaged 1/300 Bremen class frigate (accidentally fell down from show case), many of the parts from this damaged model,  i.e. propellers with shafts, rudder, ship rail, mast structure, fire control attenna, life rafts, Sea lynx helicopter, etc. were adopted and fixed to this Udaloy model. The model came out very good looking. As a matter of fact , I intended to build this Udaloy model different from the original one. The reason is I built it under my Concept and imagination by supposing that the Royal Thai Navy would put this class of ship in operation. This is how this class of ship could look like. Thus do not be serious because it's just merely a model in ideal ....not real. Now let's take a look to those thirteen detailed pictures .- Udaloy class has displacement 6,700 tons (standard) and 8,700 tons (full load ) with overall length 162 meters . Her standard Armanents consist of two quadruple SS-N-14 Launcher , 8 VLS canisters for SA-N-9 , two 100 mm.guns , four 30 mm. Gatling guns , two quintuple 21" torpedo launchers , two RBU 6000 rocket launchers.This class of ship is powered by two 30,000 hp. Gasturbines and two 60,000 hp. Gasterbines . She can reach the speed of 35 Knots.
