1/128 HMS Vanguard Forward Mast Set

1/128 HMS Vanguard Forward Mast Set: Sophisticated Cold-War Naval Optics

Complete the towering profile of Britain’s final battleship with the meticulously crafted 1/128 HMS Vanguard Forward Mast Set. Replicating the modern, integrated lattice design that characterized the HMS Vanguard, this set is the definitive upgrade for your large-scale model. As the primary support for the ship's advanced radar and signaling arrays, this mast set captures the essence of the Royal Navy's transition into the electronic warfare era.

Engineering Excellence in 1/128 Scale

• Museum-Quality Realism: The Vanguard featured a distinctive forward mast designed to house a suite of post-war sensors and communication equipment. At the massive 1/128 scale, this replica captures the complex geometry of the lattice structure and yardarms with exquisite fidelity. Every detail, from the structural bracing to the specialized mounting platforms for Type 293 and Type 274 radar units, is rendered with stunning clarity.
• Premium Material: Crafted in High Detail Resin Grey, this mast set offers superior precision and a remarkably smooth finish. The resin material allows for a level of architectural sharpness—particularly in the thin yardarms and delicate lattice cross-members—that traditional plastic or photo-etch alone cannot achieve. This ensures a professional, high-fidelity look for the highest point of your ship’s superstructure.
• Hollowed for Lightweight Stability: Despite its height and complexity, the mast is expertly engineered to remain lightweight. This ensures the model maintains a stable center of gravity while preserving the structural integrity required to support resin radar lanterns and signaling flags.
• Unpainted for Customization: The unpainted resin provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision. Customize the mast with historically accurate Royal Navy grey tones and apply subtle weathering techniques to achieve a level of authenticity and realism that defines a museum-grade masterpiece.
