Marinefährprahm - Flak Lighter (1/300)

thingiverse

The Marinefährprahm, commonly known as a Flak Lighter, was the largest landing craft fielded by the German Navy during World War II. Although originally developed for invading Britain, these boats served in various roles with multiple armaments. They were used as gunboats, transports, mine layers and escorts. Variants of the Marinefährprahm were also built by Italy, initially intended for the proposed invasion of Malta. However, this plan did not materialize and the boats were utilized for other duties. I have two variants of the D Type available. The first is the standard Marinefährprahm, which retains its transport capacity. The second is the Artilleriefährprahm variant, designed as a specialized artillery version.
