Lindberg HMS Hood = Ironic Find

Hi there.

I was given a Lindberg 1/400 scale kit of the HMS Hood. I have yet to
find a part in this kit that looks like any thing like any thing on
the real HMS Hood did.

I was just looking tonight on the web for any reviews etcetera about
this kit. In Goodle's Search Window I typed lindberg - hms hood. Talk
about irony. The first item that appears is a link to (are you ready
for this?) HMS Hood Battleship 1/400 Scale Model Kit by Lindberg.
www.monstersinmotion.com...

I am going to try and acquire the 1/350 scale HMS Hood kit from
Trumpeter. I saw it advertised the other day for $79.95 US. It is a
model of the HMS Hood as she appeared at The Battle Of The Denmark
Straits.

I saw a great, I mean a fantastic build up of the Airfix 1/600 scale
HMS Hood the other day on http://www.modellmarine.de. It is amazing
what some can do with even a small size kit.

Cheers from Peter
