The Naval Landing Crafts - called "Marinefährprahm" in German - were the largest landing craft used by the Kriegsmarine. Although required for Operation Sealion (invasion of England) in 1940, the first of these transport ships were delivered in 1941. The development of this ship went through several types (A-D), whose size and armament increased from class to class.
They were mainly used for transport and resupply, not for their initial invasion role, and could carry 200 troops or 140 tons of equipment, including Tiger tanks.
Marinefährprahme were used in almost all theatres of the Kriegsmarine, the British Channel, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
This is a Kriegsmarine Marinefährprahm MFP in scale 1/700. Printed with a Anycubic Photon SLA printer, I added some few PE parts.
Print was 4 parts, the MFP and the three guns. The original model was in 1/300, but I scaled it down to fit my other ship models.
