Good afternoon:
I am trying to find a picture of the underwater part of the SFCN PR-72P FAC. Until now, I only found controversial data (2 or 4 shafts, and an awful pic of Combattente III). I will thank a lot for any help. Cheers.

If these are akin to the PR-72 class corvettes France built for the Peruvian Navy, they appear to have 4 shafts off of 4 diesels.

Thanks, Tobius. I remember the specs (4 shafts) but in drawings and models I found the vessel with 2 or 4 shafts. Cheers.

There are actual three classes. Combattantes I, II, II

C-I usually has 2 shafts
C-II usually has 3 shafts
C_III usually has 4 shafts.

Local builders have been known to use different screw and rudder arrangements.

Good morning: With a little bit of luck, I will finish my first "modern" (is from late 70s) vessel, the french made PR-72 of the peruvian navy (it was time! I begun it in February!). One question about the style. If in several photographs the guns turrets are shown in a lighter shade of gray (completely sure: in different angles, with diffrerent ilumination the turrets are lighter), I must do the drawing in that way?, or (I prefer this alternative) follow the guidelines given here, and finnish it with the standard gray shading of SB? And other question about a weapons system: In the stern, in some pics around 2002-2005, there was a local pedestal mount for Igla missiles, but unfortunatelly I was unable to find a MANPADs size in the current parts sheets. Do you know how to draw a missile of that little size, and the style guidelines for it? Thanks and cheers.

Try to find out if the turrets are a lighter colour or if they are lighter due to a different angle, so they catch more light. If the turrets are painted differently from the rest of the ship: give them the correct colour. if they are lighter because the light fell on them that way, then the correct colour is that of the rest of the ship.

Thanks, Ace! I will do it, the vessel looks odd with the turrets of different color.
