Well I was looking at manu Bismarck builds over the last month or so, just to get an idea on how the Hood may be structured, and some are amazing, the details are superb.
What did you use to paint the hull?

Hi Colin Hull spray painted with primer. Then used Revell Aqua coluor paint.about two sprays to cover it, paint slightly watered down. Then varnished hull with five coats of varnish to protect it from water. I Found this a very detailed model as search lights have clear glass in them, lauches all have ships wheels iside them. Baulk head details even go down to fire hoses. ian Current builds.Hachettes build the bismark,HMS Victory, HMS Hood.

The radio control was an added option in the magazine for a cost of £125. this included battery and charger, radio controll , reiceiver , speeed controller, two motors prop shafts and tubes, propellers. a bit fidley to fit propler shafts into model as kit was slightly differnt size to the shafts through the ribs in model Current builds.Hachettes build the bismark,HMS Victory, HMS Hood.

Your Talking my language,many years ago I flew choppers (But thats another story) my dream is to build a Chopper may be a Raptor 90 because you could build what ever body work you wanted ie Apache, and this 90 would have the power to lift it.I like the way your thinking  MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.
