The Trumpeter 1:700 scale kit of the HMS Hood 1931 delivers a precise miniature of a landmark battlecruiser. Favoured by collectors for its historic presence and scale accuracy, the Hood is presented here with careful attention to the ship's silhouette and deck layout to provide a satisfying build for naval modelling fans.

Background and historical notes

Laid down in 1915 and completed in 1920, HMS Hood was one of the largest warships of her time and carried significant prestige for the Royal Navy. Her engagement in World War II, notably the Denmark Strait action against Bismarck, is a key part of her story and contributes to the model's appeal to history-minded builders.

This Trumpeter 1:700 assembly contains 387 plastic components across nine sprues and gives builders the choice of a full hull or a waterline presentation. The parts are arranged to capture fine deck fittings and hull contours so builders can achieve a realistic finished display.
