brizo65 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hi All, just joined the forum. My name is Brian I'm 65 and retired been building models of all types for well over 50 years now. My main interest is WW11 armour but I like to build most types of models. I live in Romford Essex in the 🇬🇧.At the moment I'm building the Trumpeter 1/200th HMS HOOD. Going quite will so far I am doing her as a waterline version. I must say I was worried about cutting into a £290 model but it came out ok!!. So now a question I see there are two upgrade set for the Hood!! mind boggling expensive. What I'd like to get is the wooden deck kit but there doesn't seem to be one out there at the moment on it's own???. I have used the ARTWOX deck kit for my 200th Bismarck kit. So I assume the they will bring one out for HOOD???. But as yet nothing. So if anyone has any info to help me out it would be great. I look forward to mybe picking your brains out there for more info on my build. Many thanks. Brian... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyby Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Welcome Brian from one newbie to another, hope to see some pics soon of the Hood, I bought a 1/350 Tamiya Tirpitz on Friday as my first attempt at building a ship after returning to the hobby so I might be able to get some tips off you.

Laerte Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Welcome on board, Brian, from Italy! Happy to see you here. About your question on HMS Hood 1/200 scale you can look this: http://hlj.com/product/KALMD20015 and http://hlj.com/product/KALMD20016 The first is quite expensive (about 170 GBP) but really complete to have an extraordinary result; the second is less expensive (about 125 GBP) but not so complete as the first. You can join KA MODELS to see other possibilities: http://ka-models.co.kr/?product_cat=1200&paged=2 You can find good ideas in this site: http://www.tehnoart.eu/hms-hood-1941.html Waiting to see your progress , happy modelling and Fair Winds, Laerte   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
