In late 2005, it was revealed that an improved version of the Type 054 frigate, the Type 054A (NATO codename Jiangkai II) was under construction at Huangpu Shipyard. The 054A is based on the same hull as the 054, but has updated sensors and more capable weapon s regarded as one of the china's most modern frigate. Most importantly, the Type 054A's medium-range HQ-16 VLS SAM system now provides area air defence from all engagement angles up to a range of 50km, a con siderable upgrade from the limited engagement angle, short range SAM system of the Type 054. The 4 AK-630 30mm AA guns of the Type 054 have also been replaced by 2 auton omous Type 730 CIWS which have improved reaction time for close-in anti-aircraft and anti-missile engagements.Like the Type 054, the Type 054A also incorporates many stealth features: sloped hull design; radar absorbent materials; and reduction of surface equipment and features.Item Name 04543Item Name PLA Navy Type 054A FFGBar Code 9580208045436Scale 1:350Item Type Static KitModel Brief Length: 383.5mm Beam:49.0 mmTotal Parts 390+Photo Etched Parts 2 PCSTotal Sprues 11 sprues, lower hull and decksPaint Schemes PLA Navy Type 054A FFG-529 ZhoushanReleased Date 2012-04More Features"Lower hull made from multi-direction al slide moulds. con tains 1 sprue for Ka-27, 1 sprue for Z-9, 1 sprue for WZ-9C and 1 sprue for Z-9C in fine details.Con tains display stand and engraved name plate
