Trumpeter 05741 HMS Hood 1931 scale replica for naval modellers

The Trumpeter 1:700 HMS Hood 1931 kit recreates the imposing lines of this renowned battlecruiser with a strong focus on proportion and deck detail. It is a rewarding project for modellers who enjoy assembling historically significant warships and refining small-scale fittings.

Historical overview and relevance

Commissioned during the First World War era and completed in 1920, Hood was notable for her size and speed among capital ships. Her later action in World War II, including the encounter with Bismarck, is part of the ship's lasting significance for naval enthusiasts.

Assembly and model highlights

This kit comprises 387 plastic parts on nine sprues and offers both full hull and waterline configurations. The layout of components supports detailed painting and rigging, making it suitable for a display that highlights fine structural elements.

The kit includes many fine parts for deck equipment and superstructure. Careful trimming and cleaning will help these pieces sit accurately during assembly.
Photoetched parts are optional but can enhance railings and ladders. The kit is complete without them, so they are a personal upgrade for extra realism.
A simple base with a flat gloss finish or a resin sea effect complements a waterline hull. Keep the base low profile to focus attention on the ship's lines.
