Those 1:200th kits are evilly tempting Keith. I saw an example of the Nelson built and completed at the Yeovilton show last weekend and I have to say that it was as much temptaion as I have ever had to resist not to buy the Rodney kit that one trader had at the show.
The Hood will be even more difficult as it will be a superb model kit and a good size, even at 1:200th. I thought the Nelson was just right.
Welcome by the way and remember, if you motorise your ships, they will make ytheir own waves saving you the hassle
