MK1 Design MD-35004 HMS Hood Wooden Deck 1/350 is a professional upgrade set intended for experienced modellers seeking maximum realism in their naval modelling projects. The main component is a laser-cut wooden deck faithfully replicating the specific planking pattern of the legendary Royal Navy vessel – HMS Hood. In addition to the aesthetic and natural wood effect, the set offers precise details in the form of photo-etched parts, essential for accurately representing the complex deck architecture and detailed equipment of the ship.

HMS Hood was the most famous British battlecruiser of the 20th century, serving in the Royal Navy from the 1920s until its tragic sinking in May 1941 during a battle with the German battleship Bismarck in the Atlantic—an episode that was one of the most dramatic events of World War II. The ship's service period encompassed the end of World War I, the interwar period, and the early years of World War II. Hood was a symbol of Britain's naval power until its untimely demise.

The MK1 Design MD-35004 set stands out for its use of fine, realistically scaled natural wood creating an amazing visual effect once installed on the model. The photo-etched parts include small upgrade elements—rails, hatches, handles, and exits—which significantly enhance the realism of the finished model. This product is designed for advanced modellers who wish to bring the detail of their ship model up to a museum-level standard.

Difficulty level: 4/5 – recommended for intermediate and advanced modellers, requiring precision when assembling both wooden and photo-etched components.

If you are a maritime enthusiast, collect World War II warship models, or want your HMS Hood to stand out among other projects, this upgrade set is the perfect choice for you. MK1 Design MD-35004 enables an unprecedented level of detail—the result significantly surpasses the capabilities of a standard plastic model.
