According to Graupner's website **LINK** the approximate weight of the ARTR HMS Hood is +/- 12 kilos. Going by the formula suggested by Malcolm Frary, this comes in a tad under scale weight, which, if I'm doing the maths correctly, should be roughly 14,5 kilos.

Indeed! I also saw the remark on the website about an additional 4 kg ballast weight required for running operations, although it is a tad difficult, I would say, to know how to interpret this information in conjunction with the phrase "All-up weight, approx.: 12000 g"/"Gesamtgewicht ca.: 12000 g", i.e. whether by that phrase they mean the total weight out of the box or the total weight including additional ballast … ?!

Sling it in, see what it looks like, decide if its setting out fully loaded or coming back empty, most of the fuel having been used, and the rum ration expended.
