Trumpeter 05741 HMS Hood 1931 scale warship for serious builders

Trumpeter's 1:700 HMS Hood 1931 kit presents a compact but highly detailed version of the historic battlecruiser. The kit balances authentic shapes with manageable assembly, letting modellers capture the vessel's prominent profile and deck fittings.

Context and naval importance

Started in 1915 and launched as a key capital ship, HMS Hood held a leading role in the interwar fleet. Her collision with Bismarck during World War II is a defining episode that keeps interest high among ship model builders.

What to expect during assembly

Containing 387 plastic parts across nine sprues, this Trumpeter kit allows builders to assemble either a full hull or waterline version. The parts layout supports detailed painting, small-gear placement, and realistic finishing touches.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:700
  • Length: 374.7mm
  • Beam: 51.6mm
  • Total Plastic Parts: 387

While possible for a careful beginner, the kit's numerous small parts and fine detail make it more comfortable for someone with some modelling experience.
Build times vary with skill and finish level; expect several weekends for assembly and basic painting, longer if you add rigging and weathering.
Decals marked Hood 1931/1932 are included and provide a tidy option for markings. For museum-level accuracy, research decal placement against reference photos.
