1/128 HMS Vanguard Fire Control Directors Set (10pcs)

1/128 HMS Vanguard Fire Control Directors Set (10pcs): Precision Anti-Aircraft Suite

Equip the "ultimate battleship" with its essential defensive optics using the meticulously crafted 1/128 HMS Vanguard Fire Control Directors Set (10pcs). This specialized collection focuses on the HACS (High Angle Control System) and Pom-Pom directors, the critical "eyes" for the ship's 40mm QF 2-pdr "pom-pom" and heavy anti-aircraft batteries. Designed for the discerning maritime modeler, this set provides the technological detail required to replicate the HMS Vanguard’s formidable defensive umbrella.

Technological Precision in 1/128 Scale

• Museum-Quality Realism: As the most modern battleship in the Royal Navy, the Vanguard featured a dense array of fire control units to manage high-speed aerial threats. At the imposing 1/128 scale, these ten units capture every mechanical nuance with exquisite fidelity. From the distinctive circular sighting tubs to the integrated radar mounting points and optical rangefinders, every feature is rendered with stunning clarity to match original naval blueprints.
• 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 thin protective railings and internal sighting equipment—that standard plastic parts cannot achieve. This ensures a professional, high-fidelity look for the primary fire control stations on your masts and superstructure.
• Hollowed for Lightweight Integration: Despite their intricate detail, these directors are expertly hollowed. This intelligent engineering ensures they remain lightweight, making them easy to mount on the elevated platforms of the bridge, amidships, and aft superstructure without making the model top-heavy, while maintaining the structural integrity needed for a large-scale replica.
• Unpainted for Customization: The unpainted resin provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision. You can customize each director with historically accurate Royal Navy grey tones to match your superstructure. The smooth resin surface is ideal for adding advanced weathering, such as salt-spray deposits on the lenses or localized wear on the training gears, to achieve a high level of authenticity and realism.
