Airfix H.M.S. Hood

Recommended Posts

After careful consideration, I decided to get the 1/600 Airfix kit of the HMS Hood, and build it to commemorate the 75th anniversary of her famous engagement with the Bismarck.

I chose Airfix because I have my doubts about the quality in Heller's kit, and I've come to mistrust the Trumpeter company and it's obsession with photoech parts, which I hate.  

I've ordered it on ebay and it should be here in time for my birthday.  

I hope Airfix is the right choice.

You cant go far wrong with Airfix models, but remember that all models are never 100% accurate, especially when dealing with ships of that scale. In general they are as accurate as a modeller will be happy with but there are many minute details that might have been omitted because of moulding problems in that size.
