1/720 HMS Hood late 1937 (Italeri)
I fell in love with the HMS Hood some years ago while reading the book "Pursuit" by Ludovic Kennedy (in Italy "Caccia alla Bismark"). I began to collect documentation about the HMS Hood and I got an Italeri 1/720 Hood. I started the model, but due to lack of time it was unfinished in my garage for a few years, until this August when I found it under a layer of dust.
I decided to finish it to represent the Hood in 1937/38. Unfortunately I finally get my used copy of "Anatomy of the Ship Battlecruiser Hood" when she was almost finished, so when I realized that some detail I scratchbuilt was wrong in shape; but it was too late.
