Review: A great classic Airfix of HMS HOOD warship model - At 1/600 scale, this kit provides outstanding detail, size for easier parts handling than 1/700 scale. Gives a true to scale and historical configuration appearance. High quality molding with minimal flash. Overall outstanding Quality!
Review: Good first model - My wife got me this for Christmas. This is essentially my first model. I used it as a trainer. There are fit issues, the hull doesn’t align properly, the prop shafts don’t have holes in the skegs, a lot of cleaning up is required. That being said, if you want to get into modeling this will teach you how to do it. It’s fairly straightforward and easy with a little patience. The color guide, well I threw that out and looked up reference photos and did a custom paint scheme. I’m very happy with the way it turned out. I plan on doing this exact kit again in about 2 years to compare the two. I’d recommend this kit if you wanted to try your hand at naval modeling. Naval models can be very expensive, from $50-500+, so for $30 I can get over the issues this kit has and use some creativity. Hobby knife, plastic cement(in a jar with a brush in lid), model putty(optional), sanding sticks/paper, black, white, red, grey, blue and brass paint, paint thinner will be needed. I custom mixed the camo colors.
