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

1/128 HMS Vanguard 15-inch 381mm Mark I Gun Turret "B": Superior Main Battery Power

Command the forward deck of your Royal Navy replica with the meticulously crafted 1/128 HMS Vanguard 15-inch 381mm Mark I Gun Turret "B". This component replicates the superfiring (elevated) forward turret of the HMS Vanguard. Utilizing the legendary 15-inch Mark I mounting, this turret is a critical element in capturing the ship's iconic profile and devastating firepower.

Engineering Excellence in 1/128 Scale

• Museum-Quality Realism: As the "B" turret, this mount sits prominently behind and above the "A" turret, making it one of the most visible features of the ship’s silhouette. At the massive 1/128 scale, this replica captures the heavy armored plating and the specific roof details with exquisite fidelity. Every mechanical nuance, from the sighting ports to the protective rangefinder housings, is rendered with stunning clarity.
• Premium Material: Crafted in High Detail Resin Grey, this turret offers superior precision and a remarkably smooth finish. The resin material is ideal for capturing the industrial strength of the Mark I housing, providing sharp, clean edges on the armor joints that standard plastic kits often miss. This ensures a professional, high-fidelity look for your ship's primary battery.
• Hollowed for Lightweight Stability: This model is expertly hollowed to ensure it remains lightweight while maintaining maximum structural integrity. This intelligent engineering is vital for a superfiring turret, as it allows for secure mounting at an elevated position without making the model top-heavy, while still providing the strength needed for a large-scale replica.
• Unpainted for Customization: The unpainted resin provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision. You can apply historically accurate Royal Navy grey tones and add realistic weathering—such as metallic wear on the barbette interface and subtle salt spray deposits—to achieve a level of authenticity and realism that defines a world-class maritime model.
