1/128 HMS Vanguard Aft Funnel

1/128 HMS Vanguard Aft Funnel: Iconic Post-War Naval Profile

Complete the silhouette of Britain’s final battleship with the meticulously crafted 1/128 HMS Vanguard Aft Funnel. This component replicates the distinctive, streamlined funnel design that characterized the HMS Vanguard, featuring the refined cap and internal trunking that made her the most modern-looking battleship in the Royal Navy's history.

Engineering Excellence in 1/128 Scale

• Museum-Quality Realism: The funnels of the HMS Vanguard were a departure from the blocky designs of earlier classes, designed to sweep smoke away from the advanced radar arrays. At the massive 1/128 scale, this replica captures the graceful, raked profile with exquisite fidelity. Every detail, including the protective cap, internal baffle plating, and the external steam pipes, is rendered with stunning clarity to match the original vessel's sophisticated appearance.
• Premium Material: Crafted in High Detail Resin Grey, this funnel offers superior precision and a remarkably smooth finish. The resin material is chosen for its structural stability and its ability to hold the sharp, crisp edges of the funnel cap and mounting base. This provides a professional, three-dimensional look that serves as a defining vertical centerpiece for your ship’s aft superstructure.
• Hollowed for Lightweight Stability: This model is expertly hollowed for a lightweight yet durable construction. This intelligent design ensures the funnel remains stable when mounted high on the superstructure, reducing the risk of the model becoming top-heavy while maintaining the structural integrity needed for a large-scale replica.
• Unpainted for Customization: The unpainted resin provides the perfect canvas for your artistic vision. You can apply the specific historical Royal Navy grey tones and add realistic weathering, such as subtle soot staining around the cap and heat-related discoloration, to achieve a level of authenticity and realism that defines a world-class maritime model.
