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: http://www.german-navy.de/kriegsmarine/ships/index.html I hope this will help. Regards Horst ------------- Coastal Forces in Paper http://cfp.muerell.de - http://cfp.muerell.de |

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 .

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 ------------- Christopher |

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! Chris ------------- Christopher |
