Hypothetical Hoods.
Left- 1942 scheduled modifications / Right- hybrid carrier
Background
These are very tiny alloy miniatures. They come in two pieces- the ship and a textured base. They measure roughly 1 6/8" / 4.1cm in length and 3/16" / 5mm in width. Due to the very small size, and the hypothetical nature of at least two variants, it is most difficult to judge them in detail. However, as they appear to be about the right size and of correct overall proportions, we'd have to say that they are more than accurate enough to serve their purpose of wargaming.
They offer at least three variants of Hood:
- 1941- Final configuration before sinking
- 1942- Hypothetical configuration based upon the refit she was scheduled to have
- Mid-1940s- Another hypothetical configuration, this time as a hybrid carrier (ala Courageous). This version comes together with the hypothetical 1942 version.
These are available for sale on-line from the great folks at Navigator Miniatures
