Greetings,

As far as I know there is not a static model of the HMS Hood at this point in time. That being said I do expect one soon from Trumpeter, they have done the USS Arizona and the Bismark and you can't do the Bismark with out doing the HMS Hood.

Mantua models produce a 1/200th scale Titanic kit and Hachette currently offers HMS Hood as a partwork in 1/200th scale as well.

Had a look at Hachette too many out of stock, got in touch with them also and they are not sure if they will be getting more in stock, i know they can be expensive but really enjoy doing Bismarck. Would love to do the HMS Hood 1/200 to sit next to Bismarck... Pity
