:thinking:Can anyone tell me what is the best photoetch upgrade for the 1/350 trumpeter HMS Hood model, and which is the best online shop.

Hi Richtea:

Well, I'm not sure about the PE upgrade but I can tell you that every time I've ordered from www.spruebrothers.com they always seem to astonish me with shipping times, billing and pricing info. They just do a spectacular job! They worst service I've had is from www.greatmodels.com The accounting system and shopping cart options are a joke and left me speechless. I needed to tell "it" when to ship even though I was finished shopping and paid! Hope this helps, Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I have had a look at the spruebrothers site, it looks very good.

It even gave me the prices in GB pounds.

Many thanks, Rich.

oh Jesus, you're in England! Sorry, my son decided to wake "US" up at 6am. Have you tried Hannants?

Hi Jeff,

Sorry for the early morning wake up call. To get your revenge try sending me a message at midnight your time. Many thanks for the advice, even good old google did not list Hannants when I googled model shops. Rich.

Ha! Actually, I'm trying to get to bed by 11:30 in my older age-I have been really screwed when I tried a few 1am sessions only to have to stay up the remainder of the night-My wife had had it and needed sleep!
