HMS Hood Hachette / Amati 1/200 The home stretch
So I’ve now done the starboard
rigging added all the lifeboats including the 2 davits at the rear midships touched up some painting and primed the propellers ready for their brass finish on that point I have heard to paint them gloss black 1st before the metallic is their anybody can vouch for this working
After this I have to assemble the jackstaff for the stern and add all the little gangways that go onto the side of the hull I haven’t done them yet cause inevitably they would get snapped off if done sooner rather than last and finally add the
decals I:e waterline markings etc I think ones called the plimsole line at the bow and the 2 ensigns to be added to the
rigging on the rear mast then I will call it finished
I can find no evidence of the word Hood being painted a different colour to the hull so I’ve left it as is
Regards
Colin
