1/128 HMS Vanguard Boat Crane Set (2pcs)

1/128 HMS Vanguard Boat Crane Set (2pcs): Industrial Naval Precision

Complete the midships profile of Britain’s final battleship with the meticulously crafted 1/128 HMS Vanguard Boat Crane Set (2pcs). These massive cranes were the heavy lifters of the HMS Vanguard, responsible for launching and recovering the ship's fleet of motor launches and lifeboats. Designed with exceptional attention to detail, these replicas capture the powerful, utilitarian aesthetic of the Royal Navy's most modern industrial deck equipment.

Engineering Excellence in 1/128 Scale

• Museum-Quality Realism: At the imposing 1/128 scale, these two cranes capture every structural nuance with exquisite fidelity. The design features the complex lattice framework, internal machinery housing, and the heavy-duty lifting blocks that defined post-war British naval cranes. These components provide the mechanical depth required to transform your boat deck into a functioning, lived-in representation of the legendary battleship.
• Premium Material: Crafted in High Detail Resin Grey, this set offers superior precision and a remarkably smooth finish. The resin material allows for a level of architectural sharpness—particularly in the thin structural cross-members and cable pulley systems—that standard plastic parts cannot achieve. This ensures a professional, high-fidelity look for the primary heavy equipment on your model’s midsection.
• Hollowed for Lightweight Stability: Despite their robust appearance, these cranes are expertly hollowed. This intelligent engineering ensures they remain lightweight, preventing unnecessary stress on your superstructure decks while maintaining the structural integrity needed to support secondary rigging or display boats.
• Unpainted for Customization: The unpainted resin provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision. You can customize the cranes with historically accurate Royal Navy grey tones to match your superstructure. The smooth resin surface is ideal for adding advanced weathering techniques, such as grease staining around the gears and localized paint wear on the lifting arms, to achieve a high level of authenticity and realism.
