1/128 HMS Vanguard 15-inch 381mm Mark I Gun Turret "A"

1/128 HMS Vanguard 15-inch 381mm Mark I Gun Turret "A": Primary Naval Firepower

Crown the forecastle of Britain’s final battleship with the meticulously crafted 1/128 HMS Vanguard 15-inch 381mm Mark I Gun Turret "A". This component replicates the forward-most primary battery of the HMS Vanguard, featuring the iconic Mark I mounting—originally designed for the Courageous class and refined for the Royal Navy's most modern battleship. Designed for the discerning modeler, this turret captures the imposing presence and heavy-duty engineering of the ship's main offensive armament.

Engineering Excellence in 1/128 Scale

• Museum-Quality Realism: The "A" turret was the first line of offense for the Vanguard. At the massive 1/128 scale, this replica captures the distinctive armored profile and the specific detailing of the turret roof with exquisite fidelity. Every feature, from the sighting hoods and rangefinder "ears" to the subtle rivet lines and access hatches, is rendered with stunning clarity to match the original vessel's sophisticated appearance.
• Premium Material: Crafted in High Detail Resin Grey, this turret offers superior precision and a remarkably smooth finish. The resin material allows for a level of architectural sharpness—particularly in the blast bag textures and the thin edges of the armor plating—that standard plastic kits cannot achieve. This ensures a professional, high-fidelity look for the most vital weapon system on your model.
• Hollowed for Lightweight Stability: Despite its robust and heavy appearance, this model is expertly hollowed for a lightweight yet durable construction. This intelligent design ensures the turret remains stable on the barbette while maintaining the structural integrity needed for a large-scale replica, allowing for smooth rotation and posing.
• Unpainted for Customization: The unpainted resin provides the perfect canvas for your artistic vision. You can apply historically accurate Royal Navy grey tones—such as 507A Dark Grey—and add realistic weathering, such as localized wear on the training gears and subtle salt spray deposits, to achieve a level of authenticity and realism that defines a world-class maritime model.
