Yes you did hear me correctly I got this one from the works and thy do a HMS hood but it seems to be impossible to find.
To show how small it is I have popped in a AA battery for scale.View attachment 324286View attachment 324287

Wow that is a small one Peter, nice to have a display stand included in the kit.:smiling:
Good luck with the painting of all the small bits.

Hi Peter like the guys say its v-small my friend buys them in this scale I think or they may be a bit bigger an he's fitted them in a cabinet in his living room with light's over the top so they can be seen but back to your model wow you must have good eye sight. An must admit I found it hard on the old eyeballs building my Nimitz in 1/144 scale that the reason I have gone up to 1/72 scale with my hms Norfolk. but back to your build I will be following to see how she comes up as ships an aircraft are my main hobby likes chris

Time to dig up this one I had to buy another kit as carpet monster has taken a few parts but here's how it looks I found out it does come with the aircraft it will look better after a coat of Matt.
Mind you it rather testing on the eyes
