I am amazed by how different this ship can look from it British version.  With all the different weapons systems.  Keep up the good work

That is rather complicated. In my Navy days the alarm signal was "Heavy ringing bells" placed all over the ship. Activated 3 times, and followed by a speaker message (in Danish) "Klart skib - klart skib".

Then the Captain or the first Officer informed the crew of what was going on by the speaker system.

If a submarine was detected there was also horn signals. The only problem, we could not do much about the submarines, as we only got the old Depth Charges. About the same in the Royal Swedish Navy, at that time.

To day it is a bit different, as the RDN in many cases has adopted the RN speaker messages. F.ex. "Brace brace Brace for missile impact", I really have no knowledge of the signals any more - sorry

Maybe you have, as we have in Belgium, "Navy Days". It's open days at the navy yard in wich you can visit multiple vessels of various nations and where you can talk to all kinds of military men and women. I'm sure there they will be able to tell you about the signals.

Sorry for the long delay.
but the ship is no more unnamed!
When I prepared to paint the ship numbers, I decide this will be very hard and dangerous task, and the result will be not satisfying.
So I started to think about decals. I made the file, but the decal paper is manufactured... in China!
It's miracle it arrived! Few tests were needed, to be sure that the varnish will not damage the decals. But everything went good from the first time!
The ship's name was a difficulty too. The letters are 2mm high. You can see the toothpick for the scale on the few photos.
The last effort will be for the draft marks. And the time for final assembly will come!
Best Regards and stay safe!

Thank You very much! I will try to hurry with the printing, this will change the look of the model a lot and the adding all superstructures will allow the full sailing tests.

Some details added, more are printed and underway.
The anchor capstan is the original from the kit, but it is not correct version for this class of the ships, the new is printed and i will replace it, when arrives.

She is both handsome and a beauty ::DD

About the ships badge. The RDN has never used eagles to anything. Just look at the history of Denmark, I think you will find out why :smiley1:

Oops! Epic fail! Sorry, about that!  :(
Because i didn't found insignia here: http://www.seaforces.org/marint/Danish-Navy/Corvette/F-356-HDMS-Peter-Tordenskiold.htm
I rely on this picture: http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h440/KWVestergaard/CoA/Denmark/HDMS%20Peter%20Tordenskiold%20template.png~original
Unfortunately now I see this is Norwegian insignia...

It look like I have made a mistake. And I am very sorry about that. I even don´t remember to have seen that badge.  :smiley1:

It was my mistake, as I looked The Tordenskjold on a Royal Danish Navy home page.

http://www.navalhistory.dk/Danish/FlaadensAnsigt/Vaabenskjolde/PeterTordenskiold_1982.htm

And the "Bird" is mentioned as an Eagle. Normally Eagles are no go.

And concerning the Norwegian, naval officer Peder Tordenskjold was a Norwegian and served in the Danish navy. At that time Denmark and Norway was "One Country".

Thank You! I feared that I made a mistake! Creating a new decals actually is not an easy task!  :wink1:
I suppose the badge represents an original coat of arms of the Wessel family, and this maybe is the reason to be so unusual, and the same for both Danish and Norwegian ships with the same name.

P.P. Yes, I found the confirmation, but not the Wessel family coat of arms, this arms was granted to the Tordenskjold itself:

A some more progress. All superstructures are fixed on their places (except the paper versions of radar room and main mast) and some details added. For next two weeks i am invited to exhibition in section "work in progress", but after that i am completely ready for real water tests!
