This high-detail piece provides the essential foundation for your command center, fire control, and forward anti-aircraft batteries.

Architectural Precision in 1/96 Scale

• Museum-Quality Realism: The forward deck 1 (or 01 deck) was a vital working space for the crew, housing the navigation bridge foundations and supporting the forward-facing armament. At the massive 1/96 scale, this replica captures the complex geometry of the round-bridge era with exquisite fidelity. Every platform transition, structural bulkhead, and equipment mounting point is rendered with stunning clarity, ensuring your model reflects the "greyhound of the sea" in its most famous mid-war configuration.
• Premium Material Options: Available in High Detail Resin (Grey or White), this structure offers superior precision and a remarkably smooth finish. The resin material is chosen for its structural stability and its ability to maintain sharp, crisp edges on the vertical bulkheads and flat deck surfaces. This provides the professional, high-fidelity look required for the most visible section of your ship’s superstructure component is expertly hollowed. This intelligent engineering ensures the piece remains lightweight, preventing your model from becoming top-heavy while maintaining the structural integrity necessary to support the bridge tower, radar masts, and 20mm gun tubs.
• Unpainted for Customization: The unpainted resin provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision. Whether you are finishing your Fletcher in Measure 12 (Splotch), Measure 21 (Navy Blue), or Measure 22 (Graded) camouflage, this surface accepts paint and weathering beautifully. This allows you to achieve the authenticity and realism required for a museum-grade masterpiece.
