HMS Hood Battlecruiser

A Royal Navy legend reborn

Build one of the most recognisable battlecruisers in naval history and give it a commanding place in your collection. HMS Hood represented British sea power for decades and became a legend through her fateful encounter with Bismarck in 1941. Her long grey hull, warmly contrasting decks and formidable gun turrets create an unmistakable silhouette. At 1:300 scale, the ship has impressive presence while retaining the precision of a historical display model. Fine technical features bring the bridge, masts, boats and gun positions to life across the deck. You are not simply assembling a warship, but recreating a documented chapter of naval history.

The 2,613-piece build begins with a layered, internally reinforced hull whose segmented construction supports the model’s considerable length. Decks, superstructures and masts then rise in clearly defined stages. Small specialised elements and densely worked surfaces recreate vents, command stations, secondary armament and other maritime equipment. The main turrets rotate, while adjustable barrels let you alter the ship’s display configuration. Printed deck and superstructure pieces add planking, windows and crisp structural markings to the brick-built detail.

HMS Hood is designed primarily for experienced builders, adult collectors and enthusiasts of naval and military history. The included display stand supports the ship securely and presents its length of more than 80 centimetres to full effect. Its scale complements other large COBI warships, allowing you to build a cohesive historical fleet. As a display-focused model, it combines a substantial building journey with a distinctive profile and rewarding technical depth.
