Enhance your HMS Hood model with unmatched authenticity using this meticulously crafted 1/128 HMS Hood - Safe Boats Set (12pcs). This set is the perfect addition to complete your 1/128 scale model of the legendary British battlecruiser.

A Comprehensive Fleet for the "Mighty Hood"

• Museum-Quality Realism: During the interwar and early WWII years, the HMS Hood carried an extensive array of small craft for transport, utility, and life-saving duties. At the massive 1/128 scale, this set captures the diverse naval architecture of Royal Navy boats, from the elegant lines of the Admiral's gig to the utilitarian profile of the motor launches. These pieces are essential for populating the boat deck and creating a lived-in, historically accurate appearance.
• Premium Material: Crafted in High Detail Resin Grey, these boats offer superior precision and a remarkably smooth finish. The resin material allows for the reproduction of fine details like clinker-built hull planking, internal seating, and engine compartments that are often lost in smaller scales. This ensures a professional, museum-grade look for the most visible secondary features of your model.
• Unpainted for Customization: The unpainted finish provides the perfect canvas for your artistic vision. This allows you to apply the traditional Royal Navy boat colors—often featuring white or grey hulls with mahogany or teak-colored brightwork and thwarts—to achieve exquisite fidelity and a high level of visual contrast against the ship's grey superstructure.

Comprehensive Set Components (12 Pieces)

This set includes a diverse collection of ship's boats as carried by the Hood:

• Motor Boats: 3x Fast 35ft Motor Boats, 1x Fast 25ft Motor Boat, and 1x Motor Dinghy.
• Large Craft: 2x Large Launches and 2x Row Cutters.
• Utility & Traditional Craft: 1x Boat Whaler, 1x Boat Gig (Admiral's/Captain's use), and 1x Row Dinghy.
