1/128 HMS Vanguard Stern Structure

1/128 HMS Vanguard Stern Structure (for Sextuple Bofors Mounts)

Complete the final defensive tier of Britain’s ultimate battleship with the meticulously crafted 1/128 HMS Vanguard Stern Structure. This specific version of the stern is engineered to accommodate the heavy-duty Sextuple 40mm Bofors batteries that guarded the ship's aft quarters. Designed for the discerning modeler, this piece captures the unique "transom stern" geometry and the specialized structural platforms required for the Vanguard's massive anti-aircraft armament.

Architectural Precision & Defensive Integration

• Museum-Quality Realism: The HMS Vanguard featured a modern, squared-off transom stern that provided a stable platform for high-speed maneuvers and heavy weaponry. At the imposing 1/128 scale, this replica captures the unique hull curvature and the flat transom face with exquisite fidelity. Every detail, from the structural supports of the quarterdeck to the specific drainage features and localized plating, is rendered with stunning clarity.
• Optimized for Sextuple Bofors: This stern structure is specifically designed with the reinforced deck areas and circular mounting paths necessary for the Sextuple 40mm Bofors Gun Set (4pcs). The integration ensures that your massive anti-aircraft mounts sit at the historically correct elevation and positioning, reflecting the Vanguard's superior post-war defensive configuration.
• High Detail Resin Grey for Superior Quality: Crafted from premium High Detail Resin Grey, this component offers a remarkably smooth finish and captures the sharp architectural lines of the hull and gun tubs. The resin material provides the professional surface quality required for high-end modeling, ensuring that weld lines and structural ribs remain crisp even at this large scale.
