Hi Mike.
Great build.
Wanted to ask your oppinion as i am building HMS Hood aswell. Would it be easy to fit lights on this model and what would be the best way of doing this.
Any help would be great thanks.
Best regards.
Mark

Hi Mark, I really am the wrong person to ask Blushing

I am sure it would be possible, but I think thats a question for the general forum BigGrin

Kind regards Mike

Hi Chris sorry to hear your waiting for that issue, I have been lucky so far Blink

Ask your newsagent to take care of the issues with the brass parts in, it is so easy to bend the brass Huh

Thanks for the nice comments BigGrin

Hi Mike!
It looks beautiful curve of brass bent panels! Love

I guess it is difficult to make them be naturally curved with such smooth surfaces, isn't it? ThumpUp

Hi Yutaro the Hood has some curves on the superstructure, which enables you to form the bends of the brass. BigGrin

Thank you for your nice words BigGrin
