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.

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.

Wonderful work!! I am searching for model of the US Auk-class minesweeper, in any small scale. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank You, Steve Bellofatto, S2bello@att.net
I have that one planned in 1/600 scale within the next year or less. Stay tuned!

Is there a possibility of getting a WW2 version of the SL-28 (US 110′ Subchaser (1918) WW1 version with 3″/23) as they were configured in 1942 with a 40mm Bofors replacing the 3″ gun forward and 3 20mm guns aft in 1/1200?
Hi Kent,
I have been thinking of this one along with a number of small YP patrol types. Let me check the master.
Can you do the ‘what if’ 1940 Dutch battlecruiser design in 1/1200?
Hi Glenn,
I’ll consider it. Alnavco did one and it should be due for re-release. I try to stay away from Never Were models that they do
I am almost done with a conjecture of another large cruiser project the Dutch had, a very heavy cruiser with 9-9.2″ guns . Have not decided on molding it yet but I am open to it.
