                        According to Freetime Hobbies, Trumpeter is going to do a 1/200 HMS Hood.

                        Would go great with the 1/200 Bismarck.  Assuming, of course, that one has a good-sized display room with nothing else in it.

                        Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.

                        Yeah, that second paragraph says it all!  I am going into 1:700 ships because I have run out of display room for the 1:350 ones.

                        A 1/200 HMS Ark Royal would get my attention!

                         Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

                        I like the idea of 1/200 capital ships far better than I like the idea of finding a space to display them!

                        Don hit the nail on the head. Unless you are building these for R/C than it seems the entire model industry is upsizing faster than our housing square footage is! 1/16 scale tanks, 1/200 scale battleships, 1/35 scale modern fighters.... Sheesh!

                        Imagine a witty signature right .....here....

                        HMS Hood: Length: 861 ft.

                        Bismarck: Length 823 ft.

                        HMS Ark Royal: Length 800 ft.

                        4-plus feet each. Ouch!
