Type 23 Duke Class FFG Group 1 1-2400
Decal Information
The decal reproduces the visible deck and helicopter-deck markings for the Type 23 Duke class and is printed on a clear background so the modeler's painted deck color remains visible. The deck markings and hull numbers should be cut and positioned carefully to match the miniature.
Model Compatibility
Miniatures from other manufacturers may differ in deck dimensions, weapons placement, or superstructure footprint, so test-fit before application.
Historical Information
The Type 23 Duke class was conceived primarily for anti-submarine warfare in the North Atlantic but developed into a highly capable general-purpose frigate. Successive upgrades have added modern radar, Sea Ceptor missiles, improved sonars, and updated combat systems.
