1/128 HMS Vanguard Director Control Towers Type 274 Set (2pcs)

1/128 HMS Vanguard Director Control Towers Type 274 Set (2pcs): Main Battery Precision

Provide the main battery of Britain’s final battleship with its primary fire control "brain" using the meticulously crafted 1/128 HMS Vanguard Director Control Towers (DCT) Type 274 Set (2pcs). These specialized towers were responsible for directing the ship's 15-inch main guns, utilizing the advanced Type 274 radar for superior rangefinding and fall-of-shot spotting. Designed for the discerning modeler, this set is essential for capturing the technological edge of the Royal Navy's last capital ship.

Technological Precision in 1/128 Scale

• Museum-Quality Realism: The Type 274 radar-equipped DCTs were the pinnacle of British heavy gunnery control, allowing the Vanguard to engage targets accurately even in the most adverse weather or low-visibility conditions. At the imposing 1/128 scale, these two units capture the distinctive, armored profile of the director house and the sophisticated radar array with exquisite fidelity. Every feature, from the sighting apertures to the mechanical rotation gear, is rendered with stunning clarity.
• 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 delicate radar support frames and sighting optics—that standard plastic kits cannot achieve. This ensures a professional, high-fidelity look for the primary fire control stations on your model.
• Hollowed for Lightweight Stability: Despite their robust appearance, these directors are expertly hollowed. This intelligent engineering ensures they remain lightweight, making them easy to mount atop the bridge and aft superstructure without making the model top-heavy, while maintaining the structural integrity required for a large-scale replica.
• Unpainted for Customization: The unpainted resin provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision. Customize each tower with historically accurate Royal Navy grey tones and apply advanced weathering techniques—such as subtle metallic wear on the training gears or salt spray deposits—to achieve a high level of authenticity and realism.
