Trumpeter to do the Hood

[Ian M]

Saw that the Trumpy range of 1/200 scale battle ships is to get a new addition in 2014 HMS HOOD.

I fear for my bank account.

That would make it just over 51inches long....... What's that likely to cost then?

At this moment I'm drooling like Homer Simpson when someone mentions donuts

I've got the HMS Queen Elizabeth 1/350 and that was £68 how much do you think this one will be ?

Trumpeter are releasing loads of ships just lately

[Ian M]

about £250 rrp----

Ouch, that's a couple of anti roll bar bushes, coolant leak fix, remap of the turbo boost (yummy:-)) and labour for me

I think mine will go the same way as yours Ian

No real room for it and at that kind of money and my dodgy hands, I fear it could be an expensive wreck model in the making...

Not really a wreck though mate , when they actually found the wreck of Hood I think there was only 10% hull one turret and a propeller lol

I'm already trying to figure out how to sneak one past the door keeper :-/ and should it have RC installed....or just build a nice cabinet to put it in.....or-

ops wifes behind me.........

Ian here's what you do , you buy it and scuff the box up a bit and then come through the front door say

" you'll never guess what I found in a skip "

If your wife then queries why there is a chunk of dosh missing from the bank you say

"Oh no! We've been scammed and pretend to phone the bank "

Job done and you can make a lovely kit

Thats easy for you Ian. Order it just after you move house, then when it arrives tell the missus that it's part of the new furniture thats arrived, she will be none the wiser

[Ian M]

Fortunately for me Carina knows I want it and its due out around my BD.

Dream on.

Sounds excellent but I've been reading about their last couple of ship releases in 1/200 and there have apparently been serious issues with hull shape and accuracy. Hope they get this one right.
