Nope, I have no sources on this at the moment.
I suspect Blackbuck might, but not sure he is around at the moment.

Sadly Ultra aren't as generous as Thales and the like with their online presence. What you see in the two portfolio pdfs and the few good google images is pretty much all I've been able to find myself.

Cheers for the feedback :D My reasoning with the shading is that my source material displays the flare of the bow as being fairly sharp, hence a lot of shadow around below the front superstructure (see here). I'll see how I can change that to make it a bit less overwhelming on the bow area.

I had a go at the decoy launcher, but it's just a quick attempt, I'm no good at that sort of detail! If anyone has any sources regarding the rest of that upper deck area where the launcher is before the rear masts it would help a lot - most of what's put there at the moment is basically a guess from some pretty poor resolution pictures :roll:

Ace, I've changed the shading at the forward sloping bit under the bridge wing but whenever I do it a lighter colour it just looks wrong to me ... not sure what you guys think. ;)

The Artisan radar is less oval then you have it depicted.

I think that launcher looks pretty good! Not sure what more we could do with it.

Looks better. The EAD looks good.

May I ask, is the anchor REALLY that low down on the hull :?: Wouldn't there be an increased risk of it breaking free and damaging the hull in extremely rough weather :?:

Surely placement nearer the gunwale would be more appropriate :?:

It's exact the location it is designed inn on the 3D drawing for the ship.. Presented on page 2.

The position isn't a problem, the anchor aren't exactly hangin on the outside of the hull

is the hanger big enough remember the area with the doors infront is meant to be a mission bay?

The two Pacific 24 mk.4 ribs are stored behind the roller doors on the sides, as far as I'm aware. The LH side of the T26 has two doors, one located as far aft as the hangar is so I believe the hangar must fit along the centreline in the middle. Certainly a Merlin is a pretty tight fit on a T23 so I imagine there's room for a similar sized hangar on a T26 which can fit the ribs as well, and another mission bay alongside the hangar on the LH side. As you can see from the BAe image, the hangar door is barely the size of the cab so it's going to be a squeeze in any case. The Merlin's tail also folds in, so the actual length of the aircraft when stowed probably means the hangar stops short of the area the ribs are housed in. Remember the size of the ship compared to a T23:
