Hi All,

This just in from the UK distributor of Trumpeter:

"We've just been informed by Trumpeter that the HMS Hood has been delayed and will not now be shipping in February. It should be shipping in March for April delivery."

The up side of this is that it gives Mad Pete more time to work on our PE set, and gives you more time to pre-order so that we can be sure to order enough kits and photoetch to cover everyone.

Cheers,
John Snyder

Hi John

Thanks for your update
A mix of Good and Bad news... But then, after waiting soooo long for a good Hood a couple of months more won't hurt (and will help the PE savings fund)

This gives me more time to save. Like Skip says, we've waited this long, a bit longer won't kill us.

As an aside I was talking to the guy who orders models at the LHS. He said they had four on order, with two already spoken for, and two others nearly spoken for. They're going to have a home run with this one.
