The 48,360-ton displacement Royal Navy battlecruiser HMS Hood was commissioned on May 15, 1920, and although heavily armed and armored, was considered to be of such a flawed design and construction that there were serious thoughts of scrapping her even before she was commissioned. She met a quick and unfortunate end in the early years of WWII when she was sunk on May 24, 1941 during an engagement with the German battleship Bismarck and heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. The Hood was accompanied in the engagement by the British battleship Prince of Wales, which escaped destruction. Of the Hood's crew of 1,418 men, only 3 survived the sinking.
Trumpeter's massive HMS Hood is sharply molded in gray and red styrene and can be built as either a full-hull or waterline model. Measures about 75cm (29.5 inches) long when complete. Includes photo-etched parts for radars, ladders, and ropes. Stand included. This ill-fated battleship would be a fine addition to your 1/350 scale warship collection.
