Good evening:

This is my interpretation (secret wish, perhaps) of the peruvian modern gunboat Clavero.

Is propelled by waterjets for tights turns. And the armament is enhanced by a Patria Nemos 120 mortar turret. I know that the turret is heavier than the original 40/.50 mount, but I don´t know if the vessel must increase its length to compensate it. Thanks and cheeres.

With the intention of giving some constructive criticism I'll point out some stylistic choices that call my attention.
First of all I think the overall impression is well achieved, a quick image search tells me it looks the part.
The first thing I notice is the stern crane, I think it looks a bit "noodly" right now and could use more definition in my opinion.
I wonder if you kept the railing in one colour instead of following the camouflage on purpose, cause I think it could look good if you followed the camo colours.
Speaking of camo, I think the colours are a bit saturated, the brown especially looks too bright to me.
And finally, looking at the pics of the real thing it seems to me that you could use stronger shading under the overhangs over the bridge.
Hope this encourages you instead of the opposite!

Thanks for your input, Charguizard! I will follow your instructions. Do you think that I must add some length to the forward section (between the mortar turret and the bridge)? Cheers.
