Can you describe the errors on that drawing to me either here or in private message?
Just a quick 5-minute appraisal
Sternboom (transverse one), no grid on the anchor hawsepipe, no plank nibbing/spurnwater drawn, location stanchions: not checked but missing stays for some (AOTS is fully accurate here, about 1/3 had a stay), mix of wrong winches around D-turret, missing aircraft frame on X-turret, wrong shape if aft 4" gun platform, flash suppressors on aft pompoms, shield config around aft pair of 4" guns wrong, ALL skylights wrong (no blast plates, only on foredeck), pompom director is.. well... not sure what that is, all 4"guns, aft pompom director should face forward, missing 4" RU lockers here and there, corticene outline not present on outer flanks of the upper deck, where it
was present regular pattern, not stepped, admiral's barge wrong type, 35ft fast motor boat (left) wrong type, 35 ft fast motor boat (right) actually 50ft pinnace, 42ft barge fantasy, funnel outlines wrong, funnel interior walkways wrong, both portside 25ft motor boats wrong type, fwd pompoms flash suppressors (not same type as aft one, but type & flash suppressors are not related, type differences too small to matter), ports side 16ft motor boat should be dingy, missing skimming dish port, fwd UP launcher lockers not present, wrong HACS types, top DCT box (aft left) not present, copy/paste portholes with eyebrows where not were present, bridge splinter shields not 1941 layout (wrong on several decks), split bridge deck layout near air defence platform wrong, pompom directors bridge wrong type (and total fantasy should be Mk I), bridge aerial trunk position wrong or deck outline wrong, UP launcher position B-turret shield outline wrong, some steam winches wrong type, too many support rollers near capstan, degaussing cable does not follow shear line.
While some issues are relatively new (for this drawing), many are not and are far better drawn in the AOTS; this drawing is a large step backwards and due to its large number of errors 100% unreliable. Check out the official Hood website for a list of corrections for the Trumpeter kit.
