Just to add a few comments about other people's comments, HMS Hood went through a lot of paint changes in her career, the decking amidships, is actually steel plating and was painted many different colours in her life, as for the rondels, many RN ships had a rondel on their forward guns, so British aircraft could recognize what was friendly and what was not... The Bismarck, and a few other ships of the DE had the swasticker, on there fore and aft decks, but this was painted over as it was too much of a target, the rondel was painted over when Hood moved to the home fleet...
Having built a 1-350 version of this lovely battlecruiser, I can well appreciate the time and effort involved. A beautiful tribute to the ship and the men that served and perished with her. You should submit some photos to the HMS Hood website, they would love it! Anyway, Bravo!! Job well done!!
Beautiful work! It's a nice touch to have the little figures on the inner main deck areas. Hood was a tremendously good looking ship, clearly built for high speed as well as for heavy armament. For a lengthy period she was the most famous ship in the world, and it's not hard to see why. Did you use a wood veneer of some kind for the wooden decking or is it painted on?
I would put it in a display case and leave it in the middle of the table as the finest table ornament going. How about some lights (tricky retrofit though) to bring it to life even more during dimly - lit evening meals perhaps. Dinner by searchlight. Excellent work - the figures are wonderful.
It goes without saying that you don't build a model like this without getting a plexiglass case to put it in. Protects not only against dust but curious fingers and paws as well.
Fantastic Model... ever so slightly more impressive than my 1970's airfix 1/600th scale "Hood". I'd have that as pride of place in the living room, the wife would just have to accept it. As an aside I would just like to inform anyone who had ancestors who served onboard HMS Hood, whether prewar, or sadly at the time of her tragic loss, that the "HMS Hood association" website hosts memorial pages for all known crewmembers. A lot of the individual pages have photos of the honoured crewman and some have a potted history of their life and naval service. There are a few commenters in these comments who had family members on board, So I would just like to say that if any of you have confirmed photographs of their crewmember relative, the association website would LOVE to receive a copy to honour that individual concerned. All the best. "Ventis secundis"
H.M.S..Hood: 1920- 1941. Out of all the men who went down with her, there were only three who survived. She was the only victim of the DKM Bismarck, 3, 14, 1939- 5, 27 , 1941. How ever , the Hood fired the first shot.
I'm just starting out with modelism and i have two questions. How much did it cost? Cause i saw it in the store but just kinda drooled and left and how much it took to make. Cause with the detail it must've taken quite a while. Also great work bravo
What was the point of some ships having a lower deck in the back? I looked it up but I couldn't find anything. It seems a lot of battleships from WWI into the 1920s were like that. The USS Arizona among others did it like this too.
Stability. The weight of the aft turrets (900 tons each) could be lowered by about 10 feet. The forward turrets had to be further above the water, so they could still be used in heavy weather, but this was not so much a consideration for the rear ones.
If only I could, I would come and get it, you really did the Old Girl Proud, I did build a smaller version, and like you, but not as good as your's, put a lot of time and effort into it, but sadly my Granddaughter, well sank it, from the shelf it sat on
You mean the same Prinz Eugen which was firing at HMS Prince of Wales at the time of Hood's destruction? (Also the same Prinz Eugen that was firing HE ammo all the way through the Denmark Strait engagement). So in retrospect, no it wasn't.
why are the deck planks different colours? you ever been on a ship? decks are all faded to a grey colour sunlight and sea. google images of ships decks.
Gathas of Persia, what an ignorant, crass and appallingly disrespectful comment....first of all the model is quite beautiful, and surely represents many months of hard work and effort on the part of the model maker, to produce such a great piece of work, of which I am sure he is rightfully proud. I wish I could produce such fine work, that's for sure. Secondly, and much more importantly, it is shockingly disrespectful of the ship herself, and her crew, lost in action in a moment of absolute carnage, during a dreadful war, and resulting in the deaths of 1415 brave men, including more than four hundred of whom were still teenagers.....YOU might find that funny, but I assure you that I dont, since one of the men lost that day was a member of my family, my mother was widowed and left with four small children to look after. In fact, a total of 584 men were married, and more than 750 children were left without fathers when the ship was lost. ..........and you think that saying "hahahahah" is appropriate?...........SHAME ON YOU!
Magnificent - no dining room table could be more graced and beautified than with such a noble art form.
A beautiful job of my favourite warship. Respect!

Idem scale 1:350 pour ma pomme
Excellent work. Love the rigging. Great model.

Сам собираю модели, здесь проделана великолепная работа
Honestly who would give this a thumbs down 👎 😡. you got to be kidding , excellent work 🏆it’s an amazing build well done congratulations 💖👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤩🇦🇺
Unbelievable! Fantastic work.
Very nice. One omission, though - blast bags on the main guns...
Much honor and respect. Very nicely done!
That model is absolutely superb. Wow!!!.
Looks good, but the most obvious thing missing from your model is the anti-blast bags on the main guns. It really stands out like a sore thumb.
Wow... She is a beauty... Hope to add my own build soon, waiting for Pontos to start shipping the add on kit, but she looks amazingly
I just received mine, your build is outstanding. Well done.

very delicate work. impressive. full sense of reality. success
I do love the rendering you made on her. Maybe not the most detailed model, but it's my favorite. Very nice job sir.
That’s fucking beautiful…
A mighty dust collector,
Aye Sir........

Wow! The mighty hood!

How ever , the Hood fired the first shot.
Excellent work!
Very nice, indeed!
she looks awsome! Nice job. just that u painted some stuff really colourd like the deck that is red
Hey! it's amazing! I really like the deck! you built this model as is out of the box with no extras, right?
amazing detail!
Looks very nice!!!!!!!!
Great model!
Looks awesome
wow. what a beauty...one question: was the marking on the top of the A turret really grean-red? so far i saw only blue-red like RAF roundel
Flags!! V impressive model, though. Well done.
Exceptional job! 😎👍😎
Was this a Trumpeter brand model? ☺️
SUPER!!!!!!! 💪🙂
Nice
you do realize that the hood had grey hull not red. just an observation
Wow great job
I'm just starting out with modelism and i have two questions. How much did it cost? Cause i saw it in the store but just kinda drooled and left and how much it took to make. Cause with the detail it must've taken quite a while. Also great work bravo
Excellent !
I never understood why the stern area sat lower on the waterline than the bow. Must have always been a wash with waves and water coming over?
Awesome
well done BRAVO!
About that twin secondary gun. Is it 4.5 inch DP guns?
Very nice!
Bismarck: Explotable
...very nice.
Great job! Is this scratch-built? If not, who’s the manufacturer? Thx.
Great
The model is good but where's her torpedo tubes??
Nicely done sir! Do you have a list of the extra goodies you added to your build?
Of Spain ,OK.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🆗👍💪✌👌👊☺🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂¡¡¡¡Ole!!!!! Manuel.
Where are main turret bags?
Nice build, really. But unfortunately some big mistakes in the paint schedule…
Hi, where did you get the little figures?
Where did you get the #2 turret decal from?
It is not a decal...I painted it with brush.
@@AjintaMusashi Thanks.
Great work but what was the red color for the decks called
Some deck parts were covered by a material called ‚corticene‘ (linoleum). Well, that‘s the name of the colour as well.
What was the point of some ships having a lower deck in the back? I looked it up but I couldn't find anything. It seems a lot of battleships from WWI into the 1920s were like that. The USS Arizona among others did it like this too.

@@dominicbuckley8309 Thanks
bellissima
How much to purchase if it was for sale?
You've made a Brilliant job of it, is it for sale?
Yes It is for sale...but only for local picup in Slovenia.
If only I could, I would come and get it, you really did the Old Girl Proud, I did build a smaller version, and like you, but not as good as your's, put a lot of time and effort into it, but sadly my Granddaughter, well sank it, from the shelf it sat on
From where you are ?
South West Scotland, we're almost into summer, and we've still got the thermals on, even under the kilts ha ha
Sunk by. a lucky hit from a small caliber from Prinz Eugen
You mean the same Prinz Eugen which was firing at HMS Prince of Wales at the time of Hood's destruction? (Also the same Prinz Eugen that was firing HE ammo all the way through the Denmark Strait engagement). So in retrospect, no it wasn't.
why are the deck planks different colours? you ever been on a ship? decks are all faded to a grey colour sunlight and sea. google images of ships decks.
Is it a trumpeter kit
👍
Ight I’ll just take this and place it on the same opposite room as where I placed Bismarck
You need to talk during your Vids ....
Je l z ai fais à aussi 👍
Peu de temps. Plus tard il devait être blindé. À cause de sa faiblesse 😥
Coule par le Bismarck. Dommage car lui aussi était un très beau navire. Dommage il était allemand.
is it trumpeter?
Yes it is.
hahahahaha What a waste. Why build a model of a tugboat that BLOWS UP after getting hit by ONE German shell?????????????? Hahahahahahha
