HMS Hood was a Royal Navy battlecruiser launched in 1918 and commissioned in 1920. Although built for the First World War, she arrived too late to take part in it. Between the wars she was the largest warship in the world, and she was modified several times during her career. In May 1941 she was sunk by the German battleship Bismarck in the Battle of the Denmark Strait.
According to the manufacturer the Trumpeter kit in 1/200 scale consists of approximately 1,490 parts. The hull is a single piece, the deck has a very fine surface texture and the guns are finely detailed. Seven photo-etched sets for railings, ladders, radar equipment and other fittings are included, together with a display stand.
At about 132 cm long the model is a large project that calls for experience as well as plenty of space. The large scale rewards a patient modeller with a wealth of detail that comes to life with careful painting. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
