Hi Lebroba,
Wouldn't you want to railing (for want of a better word) to go past the (presumably Harpoon?) missile tubes? Any radar impinging on the ship from the side is going to light up the tubes (particularly the mounting bit at the bottom that's going to be all sorts of odd angles) and possibly get a usable return, but if it's blanked off by the railing panel it'd just get bounced up and away, no?
Regards,
Adam

Also do you want the side walkway why not extend the top out to give a clean side (you might make it stronger and maybe be able to move up the air intakes ?)
Does look nice what program do you use to make it ?

Thank for the feed back.
The walkway is there because I based teh design roughly off the LCS 2 and it has one. I'll try extending it, to see what it looks like.
The Harpoons were thrown up there last minute because I wanted to see what it would look like. I'm guessing that a ship like this wouldnt go into service until 2020 timeframe, so a more suitable solution would be found. It kinda seems superfluous since the PVLS will carry the NSM, maybe I'll just take them off.
