Hi Bernd!

Slowly but steady - I know the principle!!

Your progress looks pretty good, and your Hood is really coming together!! And personally, I do like some creativity and personal touch. Almost all of my models have details that may or may not have been there, but they seemed reasonable and looked good, so I fitted them!

Looking forward to see your Hood grow!!

Cheers,
Jan



Hello Jan, thanks for the kind response, on some photos can be seen that Hood had a dark spot on her A turret. It was in spring 1941 most probably gone but i couldn t resist.

Still i am unhappy with the outcome of some details, that needs to be solved and your idea to use "captured" optics on your Repulse build is getting more and more attractive.
Optical stuff for the IJN and KM is available but nothing for the Royal Navy.

Best Regards
Bernd

Hello Russel, thank you very much. The next steps will be the quite big fleet of boats and yes more details.

Cheers
Bernd
