I've been of work a bit recently and as I was in the vicinity of Maidstone Hobbycraft on Saturday I thought I'd have a browse, I found an Airfix kit I have been looking for (albeit not actively) for years.
Its the HMS HOOD, I'm sure some of you will have heard of it as it was the pride of the british navy in the early part of the 1900's and was sunk by the German Bismarck in May of 1941.
This holds special significance for me as one of the Officers on board the Hood at the time of her loss was my Great Uncle.
Here's a few pictures of my progress so far, its the first model I have built as an adult.
