SL67 Italian Destroyer “Spalato “ ………….$7.00 Kit/$14.00 Complete

New model of the “almost was” Italian Destroyer “Spalato.” She was the captured unfinished Yugoslavian destroyer “Split” and the Italians planned an armament of 5-5.3” guns, three 21” torpedo tubes and a bevy of 37mm Breda AA guns. She was not finished but recaptured and finished with US supplied armaments after the war.

Drawing of the planned Italian version are very scarce and, until 2016, all showed a ship that looked a lot like the post war version. A set of original drawings emerged in 2016 showing a top view of a ship that resembled a large version of the smaller Beograd class. This model is based on this drawing.

New 1/1200 scale

SL-66 US 1910 Battlecruiser USS Alliance (updated to 1942)…………..Kit $20/ complete $35

This  is a conjecture of a what if, this being one of the proposed 1910 US battlecruiser designs after a modernization in the 1930’s and now in 1942 rig. Mention of the design(but no drawing) is found in Norman Friedman’s “US Cruisers: A Design History, page 62.

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.

SL-20 USS Seattle 1942 (Rebuilt ACR)……………………………$15.00/$26.00

This is a “what if” build of the proposed update to the 10″ gunned armored cruiser. In the 1920′s it was proposed to install oil burning boilers (new speed 26-28kts) and reconfigure the armament. This model takes it one step further with the remaining casemate 6″ guns replaced by twin 6″ turrets.

SL20a SL-20 USS Seattle 1943 (Rebuilt ACR)…………………………… $15.00/$26.00

SL-50   US Destroyer Leader 1928 Scheme 7……………………….$8.00/$14.00

Friedman’s Destroyer Design history discusses this concept briefly but no drawing has emerged. This is my  take on US 1928 Destroyer leader design, Scheme 7. She is 2900 tons, four-6″, four 5″/25 and 12 TT and over 400′ long. At 36kts, she would have been a close competitor of the Le Fantasque class and the Yubari.

SL-51 French Auxiliary Cruiser “Quercy” X20  (1940)……………………………..$9.50/$18.0
