1/700 Trumpeter HMS Hood Battleship

The H.M.S. Hood represents the pride of the Royal Navy in World War II. The kit includes over 490 pieces and provides details from research and experts from the H.M.S. Hood Association. One of the classic battleship battles occurred between the H.M.S Hood and the German battleship Bismarck. In September 1940, Hood spent the winter of 1940-41 on patrols in the northern waters around Iceland watching over any attempted breakout by German heavy units. She was thus still employed in May 1941 when Bismarck and Prinz Eugen got through the patrols. Hood and the brand new battleship the Prince of Wales were dispatched to intercept and destroy the German ships before they broke loose on the British convoy routes.
