its 140 issues.  Or the best part of 840 quid.  Makes the ready build graupner at the same price from various sellers and a larger scale seem a bargain.

Ah,well,I,ll just have to wait until they start appearing on the evilbay or on here,...like what happened with the Bismarck,..I got a well built Bismarck with full RC for a third of its build cost,...So I have no doubt the Hood will end up doing the same,...

Yes there is a strong rumour (but then what are rumours) it is a tester for the market and could be pulled with no comeback on thsoe with a dozen useless parts

This model was brought out approx 2/3 years ago,..and then after 4 copies it stopped,...hopefully it will continue this time,...its a nice manageable size,and when finished would sit nicely along side my Bismarck,..Yamato,Arizona,and Prinz Eugen,
