TRUMPETER'S 350 HMS HOOD "FINISHED"

 Absolutley Beautiful!!!!  Careful now... Manny will want to sink her...

Thanks for the comments my Friend. I don't think Manny would sink her anyway. He loves the Zuiho which was in the Pacific and the Hood was in the Atlantic.........

Wow, that came out looking very nice. I remember following a good portion of your build. Must be quite a big kit. Now you need a Bismarck to go with it.

I'm sure Manny will want to sink it, he's so easily threatened. LOL

That is a fine model. It makes one sad...

All positives, she looks great.

Oh man have I been waiting for this!

She's beautiful!

I just started with a Tamiya Yamato, with the Hood on the shelf. When I see these pics, I doubt to switch to'the Hood first...

Great build!!!!!

Great job Mark......  you certainly did the kit justice

Mostly        thanks for sharing

Bill

You sure did a great job on it Mark!

Very nice!! Its great to see builds on the forums. Would very much have this one on my shelf!

Thanks for the positive comments Gentlemen. They are greatly appreciated.....Cheers Mark

Wow! Great built there. In the future when I might want to do a Hood, What PE set did you use. It includes the blast bags or did you make them yourself?

Thanks for the comments. For the P/E Set, I used White Ensigns set for this particular Kit. I also used Trumpeter's Upgrade Set which includes all Gunbarrels in Brass and Props. You get the Choice of haveing the Barrels with or without Blast Bags so the choice is yours......Cheers Mark

Great build. I've had this kit for a while working its way to the top of the pile. Yours has certainly set the standard.

Cheers

Thank you for the comments FH. They are very much appreciated.....Cheers Mark
