1/128 HMS Vanguard Breakwaters Set

1/128 HMS Vanguard Breakwaters Set: Authentic Foredeck Detailing

Protect your forecastle and enhance the historical accuracy of your model with the meticulously crafted 1/128 HMS Vanguard Breakwaters Set. These structural fittings were essential for managing the heavy seas of the North Atlantic, designed to deflect green water away from the forward 15-inch turrets and superstructure. This set captures the distinctive V-shaped geometry and heavy-duty construction that characterized the deck of Britain’s final battleship.

Structural Precision in 1/128 Scale

• Museum-Quality Realism: The HMS Vanguard was known for being a remarkably "dry" ship due to her flared bow and well-placed breakwaters. At the massive 1/128 scale, this set captures the industrial strength of these steel barriers with exquisite fidelity. Every detail, including the vertical reinforcement ribs, the drainage scuppers at the base, and the heavy-duty structural bracing, is rendered with stunning clarity.
• Premium Material: Crafted in High Detail Resin Grey, these breakwaters offer superior precision and a remarkably smooth finish. The resin material allows for a level of architectural sharpness—particularly in the thin vertical plating and the subtle bevels of the reinforcement struts—that standard plastic parts often miss. This ensures a professional, high-fidelity look for one of the most visible areas of your ship’s foredeck.
• Expertly Hollowed for Easy Integration: These components are expertly hollowed to ensure they remain lightweight while maintaining maximum structural integrity. This intelligent engineering makes installation onto your forecastle deck seamless and secure, providing a perfect fit against the deck curvature without adding unnecessary weight to the bow.
• Unpainted for Customization: The unpainted resin provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision. Customize the breakwaters with historically accurate Royal Navy grey tones to match your deck scheme. The smooth resin surface is ideal for adding advanced weathering techniques, such as salt-spray crusting, rust streaks at the base, and localized paint wear from the constant action of the sea, to achieve a high level of authenticity and realism.
