2 x 2 yingji-83 (translated “Eagle Strike”) ship to ship subsonic seaskimming cruise missile launchers; the rockets have a reported maximum range of up to 150 km
HHQ-10 close in AA-missile system for up to 9 km range. I also finished the complete rear superstructures together with the railings as there will be enough space to brushpaint the deck surfaces later by hand.
I primed the whole ship with ALCLAD enamel grey primer and after one day drying time painted the ship´s side walls with Vallejo 70.907 Pale Grey blue and the horizontal decks with Vallejo 70.867 Dark blue grey which both fit perfectly for PLAN ship colors
first test dryfit with the unfinished sea diorama. There is a huge gap between the frontal bridge windows and the lower hull but this will be fixed later with liquid putty and a slab of paint.
Bridge windows made with KRISTAL KLEAR and the big open joint betwenn the upper and lower part of the bridge component sealed with color. I am satisfied with it 🙂
the bowwaves were made with thin KRISTAL CLEAR diluted with Vallejo 70.898 dark sea blue. It was thinly brushed onto baking paper and removed and bended as a wave after it dried overnight
The nice small etched plate was within 5Stars super upgrade set. I spraypainted it with Tamiya black and sanded it down to remove the black color exept for the letters
At last there was just to seal everything inside a neat diorama box. This box was, as always, bought from SORA

Album info
This is a new growing class of Corvettes which were build from 2013 on and are in active service within PLAN´s north, east and south sea fleets. All ships of this class are named after bigger chinese cities. I will depict ship number 55 "Baize", a city from Guangxi province. This specific ship is serving within the south sea fleet and is patrolling the Diaoyu (aka Senkaku aka Spratley) islands.
