So, it’s called a Transom flap for increasing top speeds and reducing stern flumes. First used 2004.

In the Royal Navy, it was used several years before that in the US Navy on the Spruance class ships....

 

Gives a 13% power reduction to achieve the same speed as without it with the resulting cost savings....

 

There are two types they had tested, the original type that was fitted to and tested on the HMS Argyll, then retrofitted to the HMS Kent & Northumberland....

And the second type that was fitted to the HMS Manchester.....

The first type was more efficient than the second type.....

 

Here is the report as posted to a ship design discussion board.....

 

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Kent had a different Transom Flap than the Type 42 Manchester had....

to prevent this i quess

Actually no, that ship is doing at least 37kts the roostertail will always be there when pushing that much water, the transom flap is installed to reduce the vortex drag off the sharp chined transom, same principle as winglets on the wings of 747's....

He used to work for Pontos, went out alone. It a strange balance as Micromaster stuff is so damn good but no construction involved so it comes down to how good you can airbrush and weather so it’s not building. (If you design and print your own, Kudos!) 

 

theres a handful of world class modellers in this scale online (mostly on Facebook) of which @Koppalakki is right up there with the absolute best like the blokes in the scratch build forum are to us mortals. His Yamato started me on on weathering. I just detest the formats required by some of the other formats needing picture hosting sites which have robbed the world of so much research

Zipping right along there, do you always PE before painting?

Depends, as I’m going to mask the deck after I paint it a dark grey plus weathering I try and break it down as everything on top of the deck is light grey plus oil canning. PE does not like to stick to anything once painted so it’s problematic but as I’ll use the PE railings on this one I’ll paint them on the fret. 
 

So I  fixed up the transom flap using Tamiya putty and lacquer thinner on my little finger to give a nice smooth finish. 07DC7EAC-2CE5-4224-B733-AA8E6ADD0B11.thumb.jpeg.7d64a8379079c05a30fa9547dcaba427.jpeg

Interesting on the PE, I usually paint mine first, but there are so many ways to do it go with what you know....

Beautiful PE work btw.....

 

The Flap looks good..... I figured it was going to be a sculpting job given it's shape....
