Hi there. I just saw this description on Ebay:

"Brand New, Unassembled,

Trumpeter1/350 HMS Hood Royal Air Force model,

kit number 05302."

I have heard the British refered to HMS Hood as the largest submarine
afloat but I can not see where the seller could possibly have come up
with that description.

Cheers from Peter

You really want a laugh, read this:

This is actually cruel to do, as the guy is trying as hard as he can to
get it right, but there's a severe breakdown in translation.
I've just contacted him and offered to get the translations right for
him, but it's so amusing to read the way it's written right now. :-D

That ol' "kerosene blooded metal freshed blood sucker"
