1/600 Airfix - HMS Hood

The 1/600 Airfix HMS Hood kit offers a compact yet striking model of the Royal Navy’s famous battlecruiser, known for its size, speed, and tragic fate during WWII. This kit captures the overall profile of the ship with its long hull, powerful gun turrets, and distinctive superstructure.

Despite the smaller scale, the model includes a good level of surface detail, including main and secondary armament, funnels, and masts. It’s an accessible build for newcomers and a nostalgic classic for seasoned modellers. Once completed, it makes an impressive display piece, representing one of Britain's most iconic warships.

This classic kit is reissued using Airfix’s original moulds, preserving the charm and character of the original release. It features finely moulded parts, updated decals, and the iconic retro-style box art that defines the Vintage Classics series. A great choice for both nostalgic modellers and aviation history enthusiasts.
