Something nice for you guys whose eyesight, and fat fingers, aren't making 1/350 scale the only way to go. This should be a very popular kit.

I've also seen somewhere that Trumpy is coming out with an earlier, 1933 maybe, version of the Hood. For those guys, like me, who are fans of broadside guns that should be an interesting kit also.

I've seen some reports of the 1931 Hood too Rodger.

Hi Kenny, any idea of a release date this side of the pond.
This is on my must build list.

Thanks for the news
