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

Dominate the aft profile of your Royal Navy masterpiece with the meticulously crafted 1/128 HMS Vanguard 15-inch 381mm Mark I Gun Turret "X". This component replicates the forward-facing superfiring turret of the aft main battery. Based on the legendary Mark I design, this turret is essential for capturing the symmetrical firepower and imposing silhouette of Britain's last and greatest battleship.

Engineering Excellence in 1/128 Scale

  • Museum-Quality Realism: Turret "X" serves as the primary elevated battery for the ship's stern. At the massive 1/128 scale, this replica captures the heavy armored housing and the specific roof details with exquisite fidelity. Every feature, from the sighting hoods and armored rangefinder housings to the subtle access hatches, is rendered with stunning clarity, reflecting the high standards of post-war British naval engineering.
  • Premium Material: Crafted in High Detail Resin Grey, this turret offers superior precision and a remarkably smooth finish. The resin material allows for a level of architectural sharpness—particularly in the armor plate seams and the texture of the blast bag interfaces—that standard plastic kits cannot achieve. This ensures a professional, high-fidelity look for the most visible weapon system on your ship's aft section.
  • Hollowed for Lightweight Stability: Despite its robust and heavy appearance, this model is expertly hollowed for a lightweight yet durable construction. This intelligent design is critical for the "X" turret's superfiring position, ensuring it remains stable on the elevated barbette without making the model 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 historically accurate Royal Navy grey tones and add realistic weathering—such as metallic wear on the training base and subtle soot or salt spray deposits—to achieve a level of authenticity and realism that defines a world-class maritime model.
