History of the brand:

Vanguard Models was founded by well-known model ship designer Chris Watton, who has been responsible for Amati's recent model ship designs, particularly the Victory Models series. Now, as an independent manufacturer, he consistently realizes his ambition for the best possible fidelity to the original and the highest quality of material. He uncompromisingly introduced the production of parts from noble wood with laser engraving, and it is also important for him to produce perfect construction instructions with hundreds of color photos so that the models are a pleasure to build even for inexperienced modelers. The high quality of the material and the well-thought-out design are definitely worth it.

Construction difficulty

Intermediate kits are suitable for builders who have already built a simpler model for beginners and have basic modeling experience. Models of this difficulty are more elaborate, contain more details, and construction is more time-consuming.





We recommend to buy


For construction, we recommend buying tools, glue and paints.

Modeling tools and mat

Building model ships requires the right tools. We recommend an excellent set of Modelcraft tools for ship modelers (set of 12 pieces), or Modelcraft tools for modelers (set of 18 pieces). We also recommend the purchase of nylon clamps and indispensable modeling pins. We recommend a modeling mat for editing, precise cutting, gluing parts and also as table protection.
