Hi all!

I'm planning on building the trumpeter 1/350 HMS Hood and have been looking at getting a wooden deck for it. So my question is, in your opinion, is it worth paying for a wooden deck at all. Secondly can anyone recommend one, I’ve looked around and there seems to be an almost endless amount of manufactures of wooden deck for Hood and it’s making it very hard to choose.
Thanks in advance!

Definitely worth it just for the time saving. And You can't beat the look of a real wood deck. Pontos make a good one.

Cheers
