AAbshier Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm building the new Cybermodeler Type 45 destroyer (HMS Daring) and plan on finishing it with the hangar bay and one of the RHIB bays open. What color are the interiors of these areas? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) Basically, the deck is the same colour as the flightdeck, walls and roof are white. The doors are the same colour both sides, but shouldn't be visible. There are some cable runs, with the cables being black, and to the rear are some large ribbed pipes going upwards which are aluminium colour. Various bits of equipment are in odd colours, mostly red, or a dark grey. Additionally there are various markings on the deck for helo positioning. Heres a couple of photos of HMS Diamond.

Ship Fixer Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I'm building the new Cybermodeler Type 45 destroyer (HMS Daring) and plan on finishing it with the hangar bay and one of the RHIB bays open. What color are the interiors of these areas? Andy The hangar deck is indeed painted the same non slip grey as the flightdeck. The interiors of warships - bulkheads and deckheads etc are painted a very, very, very pale grey called Ash Grey, which to all intents looks white, but isn't. Pipework also is painted with this, except for firemain which is invariably red, except for upperdecks whnec it is lagged with nilflam and painted 'Weatherwork Grey'. Boat Bays have the same dark grey non slip deck but their doors and bulkheads are grey. Ship Fixer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewerjerry Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Hi probably totally off topic, All the RN SSN's used a two pack resin white paint on interior bulkheads etc, it stank when it was used for days. All equipment was usually trimite grey. example of trimite paints http://www.silmid.com/Products/Paints-and-.../6935595LT.aspx cheers Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Wilson Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Just found out that Babcock are instaling the Phalanx CIWS on Daring over the next few weeks so make sure you keep those parts to one side to update your model. Stuart Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I wouldn't trust Babcock to make a cup of tea to be honest! Mind you, they'd probably down tools if there was no milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce3371 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 What difference, in terms of capability, is there between goalkeeper and phalanx, and why are different ships fitted with each type? Sorry if this seems like a noob question, but I have often wondered about this, having a passing interest in all things Royal Navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalkeeper - 4,200 rounds per minute. 30mm 7 barrel, based on the GAU-8 cannon (a version of which is fitted into the nose of the FR A10 Warthog Tankbuster) Fitted tp UK T22 B3 and CVS Phalanx - up to 4,500 rounds per minute. 20mm 6 barrel, based on the M61-A1 cannon (a version of which is fitted to the F14, F15, F16 and F/A18 aircraft, amongst others) Fitted to UK T42 (all Batches), HMS Fearless, T45 and earlier CVS Both are pretty flipping good.

mollythedog Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 A similar question was posed here- http://www.shipsnostalgia.com/gallery/show...phalanx/cat/511 The answer makes you wonder about the state of our Navy......or what's left of it. mtd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Jones Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 dont forget there are all those spare phalanx's taken off 42's/CVS's & the assault ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyBing Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 dont forget there are all those spare phalanx's taken off 42's/CVS's & the assault ships Not so much, they were taken by the Army for use against mortars and the like in Iraq and Afghanistan as demonstrated A big difference between Phalanx and Goalkeeper is that the former can pretty much be bolted onto something, whereas the latter extends down at least one deck so requires a bit more integration into the host platform.
