The Shangri-La Ironworks is a new line of resin 1/1200 scale naval miniatures. In the months to come, you will find a selection of unique and for the most part overlooked vessels from the 1914-1945 era.
Kits are cast in white resin with main turrets, cranes and some superstructure parts cast separately.
New in 2009!!
The USS Minnesota is a Fast BB proposed in 1934 with 9-14″ rifles in three triple turrets and 12-5″ guns in twin turrets. She was designed for 30kts at 35000 tons with excellent protection comparable to the later fast BBs (13″ belt, 4.5″-5″ on the decks).
A sketch can be found in Norman Friedman’s book “US Battleships : An Illustrated Design History” on page 234.
The model includes 1.1″ and 20mm guns for a model circa 1942.
