The Battlecruiser HMS Hood 1941, Flyhawk 1/700

Today, I would like to introduce the 1/700 scale model of the British battlecruiser HMS Hood. I'm using a kit from Flyhawk, which recreates the ship as it appeared during the Battle of the Denmark Strait in 1941. This was quite a challenge [...]

IJN Battleship Nagato 長門 in 1927, Aoshima 1/700
