Slowhand Posted Friday at 11:38 PM #34 Posted Friday at 11:38 PM (edited) I think you’re doing a great job on the Hood the wooden deck is well worth the cost. The amount of detail in these kits is amazing and building one is a job for the insane. I tried the Invincible and had major problems with the casemate guns and the bridge. Then she took a hit from the Derfflinger 😂😂. Tempted to try again.

king derelict Posted Friday at 11:46 PM #35 Posted Friday at 11:46 PM The Flyhawk kits have an eye watering level of detail. I’ve just finished adding what seems an inordinate number of tiny lockers to the decks of HMS Galatea and it’s hard on the eyes. They do make fine models in the end. I haven’t worked up the courage to take on HMS Hood yet but you are making a great job of yours alan Canute, AJohnson and Old Collingwood 3 Quote
