a mini-1154

That's a very nifty looking design. I like the lines of this very much, in fact it probably looks a little better than the Neustrashimyy.
Everything looks logically laid out and the weapons fit looks good, though I query the lack of any SAMs even for point-defence. I think a similar radar fit to Neustrashimyy would work well.
Finally, I must say I love the colouring and shading, that grey shade looks great.

That looks good and, yes, fairly close to a Pr.1154
Good on you if you ended up on something so close to a real design without starting from it, that's a good sign.
Regarding the outfit, a couple of questions remain open, radars notwithstanding:
- Do the fold-down launchers have blow-out panels out back? Shooting 45° like that they are probably hot-launch.
- Do I read your projectile right, and these fold-down launchers shoot torpedoes? Or are they some other torpedo-looking missiles?
- If they are torpedoes, what are the things that look very much like quad 400mm torp tubes just forward of that?
- I assume that the small VLS between the turret and the RBU is for some SR SAM like a Kinzhal ? What quantity do you have in mind?
- Also, do you plan on a radar director for your SAMs, and if so where? If on top of the foremast, that leaves you space for only one air-search radar. Nothing critical as such, but a Russian/Soviet ship of that size and that tech level would probably have two. Your call.
- Small design note: the overhanging bridge wings could do with some shadowing. If they don't overhang, then no shadow is needed, but you can remove the black line at the bottom.
- How do you launch the boat in the middle (behind the front stack)? You need a crane of some sort, and if you have one or two you can dispense with the davits.

All in all, a really great, functional-looking and realistic design, and a very well-executed drawing at that.

Hi all
@citizen lambda
Thanks for your Input. I corrected the small errors like missing missiles or blow-out panels. The fold up launchers are equipped with
anti ship missiles, the torpedos are for the quad tubes, simply not added the other missiles here. I will post the updatet pic soon

Here is my work of the last ~4hrs., hope you like it:


The ship itself is drawn like the original (as close as possible at the moment, some detrails need small rework in comparison with the
blueprint and the photos), the deatils as radars etc. are added for presentation (aswell as the German flag... )
