Description:
HDMS Thetis (F357) is the lead ship of the Thetis-class patrol frigates developed for Arctic patrol, maritime security, and sovereignty missions within the Royal Danish Navy. Built for operations in harsh northern environments, the vessel serves as a key platform for Danish Arctic operations.
This 30-inch handcrafted model is meticulously built using the traditional plank-on-frame method and premium-grade woods, including Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany. Every detail, from the reinforced hull and radar mast to the flight deck and mission equipment, is carefully recreated by skilled craftsmen to capture the authentic appearance of the original vessel.
One of the defining features of the Thetis-class is its ice-strengthened hull designed for long-duration operations in Arctic waters. Its rugged naval architecture and versatile patrol capabilities give HDMS Thetis a strong and distinctive operational appearance.
Completion typically takes 3 to 6 months, depending on the design complexity and selected materials.

History:
HDMS Thetis (F357) was commissioned into the Royal Danish Navy in 1991 as the lead vessel of the Thetis-class patrol frigates. The class was developed primarily for Arctic patrol duties, fisheries inspection, and sovereignty enforcement around Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
Built with an ice-strengthened hull and long-range operational capability, HDMS Thetis became one of Denmark's most important Arctic patrol vessels. The class continues to support Danish naval operations in northern waters
