Hi Chris,

I think you mean the counterpart of the HDMLs in the Kriegsmarine. According to my sources this were the so called "raeumboote", they were similar to the Fairmile A, B and C Motor launches in the Royal Navy. Used as minesweepers, escorts and patrol vessels. Look here:

I hope this will help.

Horst

Chris decided to build a Kriegsfischkutter, an exciting project.

Have you come across plans for the Luftwaffe 80 and 90 foot FLB rescue boats?

Hi all,
the Kriegsfischkutter (KFK) is similar to the British MFVs, although I never heard of such owned by the Luftwaffe. The abbreviation FLB means "FeuerLöschBoot" (fire-boat), but there might be another meaning during the war.

There is a book about the KFKs, which also contains plans http://www.buecher.de/shop/Kriegsschiffe/Kriegsfischkutter/Danner-Herwig/products_products/detail/prod_id/09573598/ - here . Sirmar Models offers a KFK with plans-set http://www.sirmarmodelships.com/showship.asp?ID=47 - here . I would also recommend a google-search with many pictures of KFK-models like http://www.arbeitskreis-historischer-schiffbau.de/modell/2006/kfk/kfk.htm - this one .   

Regards
Horst

Hi Guys

Thanks for the interest in the KFK.

As Christian quoted, I will be building a 24mt KFK from the Sirmar hull and plan set. As usual, I will be making a percentage of the fittings require to fit this boat out along with the Kriegsmarine crew that I already produce.

Please keep an eye on my website for the latest new on this very interesting project. It is anticipated to start around the end of February, I must finish my latest build first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Please keep the links and photos coming on the KFK's please!


regards

Christopher

Well its only took me 5 years to order a hull in 1:24/25th scale to build this model!
I have plans now that came from Kingston Mouldings and enlarged to hull size!
 
Will post some pics as and when work is carried out over the Xmas holidays

Hi and thanks!  Ye you can find a lot of photos and websites for old KFKs tuned into fishing boats and private  boats, but try to find good photos of wartime boats is very hard!
