The Silent Service


I'm taking a bitesized approach to painting the Royal Navy warships for my Indonesian Confrontation project, starting with the most digestible portions first. The hors d'oeuvre consists of two Oberon class subs, HMS Oberon and HMS Olympus, the former of which was on patrol during the conflict. Ideally, I'd have liked to deploy some Amphion class boats, but I haven't been able to find a model. Next up will be a tasty starter of five frigates.

  1. Nicely done. Converting to an A class wouldn't be that difficult - file a bit off the front of the fin to form the characteristic "step" and add a small blob to represent the deck gun.

    1. I was thinking of trying to find a proxy model but that's a much easier option. Thanks David.

  2. Jim, you could have used one as a RAN boat. I thin the RAN had minesweepers up there too, I shall have to check.
