Scale: 1/200

Includes 1 director.

Some ships of the Royal Navy carried the US-designed Mark 37 fire control director with British-designed radar, including late (1943) Battle-class destroyers and the Royal Navy's last battleship, HMS Vanguard.  Mark 37 fire control directors were used to control the fire of the twin and single 4.5 inch dual-purpose guns against both aircraft and surface targets, to direct the fire of starshells for the illumination of surface targets, and to position the searchlights.  The UK-designed centimetric Radar Type 275 gave these ships true "blind-fire" capability.
 
Battle-class destroyers known to have been fit with this director include:
HMS Agincourt
HMS Aisne
HMS Alamein
HMS Barrosa
HMS Corunna
HMS Dunkirk
HMS Jutland
HMS Matapan
