About product

HMS Hood 1941 — Deluxe Edition (1:700, Flyhawk)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the British battlecruiser HMS Hood as she was in 1941, in 1:700 scale from Flyhawk. It is the Deluxe edition, which compared with the basic version adds turned metal gun barrels and a photo-etched upgrade set right in the box. Flyhawk is known for exceptionally fine detail in its toolings, so the Deluxe package offers practically everything for a top-class model without buying anything else.

The real subject

HMS Hood was a British battlecruiser of the Admiral class. For two decades she was the largest warship in the world and a symbol of British naval power — she was nicknamed the Mighty Hood. On 24 May 1941 she met the German battleship Bismarck in the Battle of the Denmark Strait; after a few salvos she was torn apart by the explosion of her magazines. Of around 1418 men of her crew only three survived. The model captures the ship in exactly this final form of 1941.

Building and painting tips

The fine parts and the photo-etched items call for patience and a sharp knife. Fit the turned metal gun barrels in place of the plastic ones for a perfect shape. Glue the photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate after spraying. British ships of 1941 carried camouflage schemes — check the period reference. Emphasize the panel lines with a fine wash.

Who the model is for

  • For advanced modelers and collectors of the Royal Navy
  • For 1:700 builders who want top-class detail without buying extras
  • Because of the fine photo-etched parts, rather not for complete beginners

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories beyond the contents of the box are not included, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Compared with the basic version, the Deluxe adds turned metal gun barrels and a photo-etched add-on set right in the box, so you do not have to obtain them separately.
