Trumpeter 05741 HMS Hood 1931 accurate 1:700 naval replica

The Trumpeter 1:700 HMS Hood 1931 model captures the distinctive silhouette of this historic British battlecruiser. Designed for collectors and dedicated modellers, the kit emphasises faithful proportions and small-scale detailing to reflect the ship's period appearance.

Significance in naval history

Construction began in 1915 and Hood entered service in 1920, noted for her displacement and presence among capital ships. Her later wartime action, including the encounter with the Bismarck, makes her a compelling subject for historical modelling projects.

Kit composition and presentation options

The set includes 387 plastic parts on nine sprues and offers both full hull and waterline builds. The assembly sequence and part design support detailed finishing, allowing attention to painting, fittings, and optional enhancements.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:700
  • Length: 374.7mm
  • Beam: 51.6mm
  • Total Plastic Parts: 387
  • Decal Marking: Hood 1931/1932
  • Options: Full hull or waterline version
The kit is complete for a faithful build, but photoetched sets or brass replacements can improve railings and fine details for modellers seeking extra realism.
Basic tools include sprue cutters, hobby knife, fine tweezers, sanding sticks and plastic cement. An airbrush or fine brushes will aid neat paint application.
Keep the finished model in a dust-free case or on a protected shelf away from direct sunlight. Use a low-profile stand for waterline versions or a cradle for full hull displays.
