1/700 HTMS Phutthayodfachulalok (AFV Club)
HTMS Phutthayodfachulalok (phut/tha/yod/fa/chu/la/lok) was ex- USS Truett (FF-1095). She was commissioned into the Royal Thai Navy on 30.07.1994, just an hour after decommissioned from the USN. Her name was a name of the 1st king of Chakri Dynasty, Kingdom of Thailand. She is a flagship of 1st Frigate Squadron of the Royal Thai Fleet.
I made this ship prior to 2002, now her mack is painted black like her sister.
This old AFV Club 1/700 kit used GMM Modern USN/JMSDF PE detail set and was painted with Gunze acrylic color. Crew comes from Eduard pre-painted naval figures.
