Thanks very much for your quick reply and generous sharing of the .stl file. I look forward to building this model and hope to achieve a result close to yours. Cheers.
Thank you for your comment. I upload .stl file with 3d parts, on a transfert plateform. It's available for 7 days (until the 24th of july). Link is here: www.transfernow.net/dl/202407177wzkwXKi
Colour is all wrong, the lower hull should be slate grey not red, and the upper hull above the boot line (which is the only thing the correct colour) should be a dark blue/grey. The forward half of the boat deck should be red/brown corticene, a linoleum paint. This model colourwise represents the ship as it was in about 1931 which is all wrong as it still had its 5.5 inch turrets then. I suggest the excellent HMS Hood Association website for a full explanation of Hood's colour scheme in May 1941.

I’ve always thought that if were to build a Hindenburg model the swatsiga would be replaced with something else. Love the peace sign. Beautiful model! Love the leds and 3D printed items.
Nah, Hindi peace logo which is similar to the swastika as the swastika was a upside down Hindi peace logo but if you want it to be accurate I would just use a swastika or Hindi peace logo ☮️
Magnifique réalisation, celle-ci a dû necéssiter un certain temps, la création des pièces en 3D avant assemblage a dû être assez longue, quelle patience ! Combien de temps vous a-t-il fallut au total pour tout finir ?
Excellent work, i have built trumpeters Hood in 1/350, one or two flaws but otherwise an excellent kit, i have read somewhere that Hoods lower hull was painted a dark grey or black,never red, i think it was in the Hood association blog.
You made a SUPERB job of that! I keep re watching to see the details. Did you use primer, gloss paint and clearcoat? Also did you use Acrylic or Enamel paints? Where did you get your rigging? I have ordered this model with some extra goodies :D
