Hi all, What difference is there between this book and the 1st edition ?

Hi Jamie, Up till now I've always built OOB, But as I've always wanted a 1.350 Hood so I thought I would make an effort . I'm going to get some replacement Turrets [ Which would you recomend ], a wooden deck [ same again as the turrets ] and railings etc. And I'll take a look at the Big Blue Boys set. Thanks for the advice. Roger.

I've now got a Trumpeter 1.350 HMS Hood, I have been looking at the upgrade/wood deck/photoetch for this kit, there seems to be a vast aray of bits available, and I'm a bit confused as what to buy. As I have never worked with photoetch before, what would be the best way to improve the ship without going the whole hog with photoetch [ I've looked at the Lionroar set and thought "wow" ] Is a wood deck worthwhile or should I just paint the deck?, Is the turret/gun barrels upgrade worth it? I do not want a Museum quality model, just something thats an improvement over the basic kit. Roger.

Thanks Mike, I have ordered a set. Roger.

Who's the guy in the US selling replacement weapons for Ark Royal Mike ? Roger.

I see theres a standard kit on ebay now for £26, plus postage from Japan.

I see its now £80 pre-order at Hattons,
