I've updated the Hood in 37, 40 and 41 with an updated 40mm Pom-Pom mounts that better reflect their appearence. I've also done some tweaking to the Hoods' radars in the '41 drawing.

I don´t know if the Hood was a battlecruiser or a fast battleship, but certainly this is a magnificent set of very nice drawings. Cheers.

She was classified as battlecruiser. But then British Battleship back then was somewhat slow, (sort off) compact. Basicly a brute that just slowly walk into your room, give you a beating, for then walk slowly out again, while drinking your tea!

But then it xan also be politics... just like those German frigates that you start to wonder if they are not a light destroyer instead

Excellent! Great style and you pay of attention to scale. SUPER. And to weigh in on the Fast BB or BC matter. Hood was equal in armament to eh QE BBs and not much reduced in armor. With its HP and length it might appear to be a BC but it sacrificed two knots and rode low in the water. If Hood could reliable do 30 knots I'd agree it was a BC. Compare to Renown and Repulse, they cut back guns and especially armor (almost to the point they were unsafe.)

All of the drawings from before have been heavily reworked and I've added a 1931, 1939 (early and mid/late) editions of the ship.
