Description

This is a set of optional parts for detailing ship models.

Like their amazing set for the Yamato, LionRoar has again pulled out all the stops with this incredibly comprehensive super-detail set for Trumpeter's 1/350 British Battlecruiser HMS Hood. You get replacement turned-brass barrels for all main- and secondary-battery guns, as well as replacement resin turrets for the four main turrets. Also included are anchor chain, resin range finders, four brass screws, and a whopping 12 sheets of the highly detailed photo-etched parts for which LionRoar is famous! These parts include all the railings, ladders, hatches, deck lockers, light AA mounts and shields and turret details needed to properly "clutter up" the deck and superstructure. Also includes a beautifully crafted and very classy metal HMS Hood badge (seen in the boxtop photo below, between "HMS" and "HOOD"). This is not exactly an inexpensive set, but you sure do get what you pay for!

Assembly Guide

Skill Level 3:

Basic Skills Required

Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.

To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.

Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.

Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.

Cement Required

cement

This item requries the use of cement (glue) to complete. For injection-plastic kits, use the weld-type clear cement specifically designed for use on styrene plastic. For some smaller parts, you may wish to use instant type (cyanoacrylate) glue. For resin, white metal, soft vinyl and photo-etched materials, the use of instant type cement is strongly recommended.

A SAFETY NOTE ABOUT INSTANT CEMENT

Parents and all modelers should note that instant cement (cyanoacrylate) bonds skin instantly. While this in itself is not harmful, forcibly attempting to pull the skin apart can tear the skin and cause injury. If you or your child happens to inadvertenly glue themselves with instant cement, don't pull, but use remover for instant cement, or nail polish remover to dissolve the bond instead.

Painting Required

This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.

Paint

While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
