1/128 HMS 15-inch 381mm Mark I Gun Turret Barbette Set (4pcs)

Provide the essential structural foundations for your Royal Navy masterpiece with the meticulously crafted 1/128 HMS 15-inch 381mm Mark I Gun Turret Barbette Set (4pcs). This set is the definitive choice for outfitting a 1/128 scale model of legendary British warships such as the HMS Hood, HMS Vanguard, or the Queen Elizabeth and Revenge-class battleships. These replicas capture the massive armored cylinders that protected the vital ammunition hoists and supported the rotating weight of the main battery.

Structural Power in 1/128 Scale

• Museum-Quality Realism: The barbette is a critical architectural element of a battleship, rising from the armored deck to meet the turret. At the massive 1/128 scale, these components provide the imposing presence and precise diameter required for the 'A', 'B', 'X', and 'Y' turret positions. Every vertical surface is rendered with exquisite fidelity, ensuring your model reflects the heavy, utilitarian engineering of the Royal Navy’s most powerful capital ships.
• Premium Material: Crafted in High Detail Resin Grey, these barbettes offer superior precision and a remarkably smooth finish. The resin material is chosen for its structural stability and its ability to maintain perfectly circular geometry and crisp, sharp edges at the deck interface. This provides the professional, museum-grade look required for a large-scale maritime replica.
• Expertly Hollowed for Easy Integration: These barbettes are expertly hollowed to ensure a lightweight yet durable construction. This intelligent engineering makes them easy to bond to the deck and hull without adding unnecessary top-heavy weight, while still providing the strength needed to support large resin turrets.
• Unpainted for Customization: The unpainted resin provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision. Customize the barbettes with historically accurate Royal Navy grey tones—such as 507A Dark Grey or 507C Light Grey—to match your ship's specific era and camouflage pattern. This flexibility allows for the authenticity and realism that defines a world-class historical model.
