Marinefährprahm (MFP)

Can anyone steer me in the direction of some plans for German Landing Craft for WW2? Especially MarinefÃ¤hrprahm (MFP), Pioneer Landungsboote, or Siebel? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Without providing a link to a competitor of GHQ, look for 'Shapeways' and/or 'MastersofModeling.'

Their models are 3-D printed. Quality is not as good as GHQ, but acceptable; especially considering that these are the only 1/2400 scale figures of these itmes of which I know.

They also have a number of modern ships, a few Japanese WWII ships, and Zeppelins.

Thanks for the information, but I'm looking at scratch building some in 1/285 and would like some reference material with more detail in the drawings. Some of the references online state the dimensions in length and width and not much else. I'm surprised that with the number built there is hardly any data considering how broad their use was.

I caught the water bug after doing some Brown River boats

. I have a lot of sheet styrene from a previous project and with a 1/300 dimension of 164mm x 22mm this should help lighten the load

Hi,

this book:

http://www.amazon.de/Die-deutschen-Land ... 3981390415

is quite interesting if you want to know more about the MFP and other similar German designs.

Kind regards,
Benjamin

Thanks, I'll see if I can find a copy in English. Still working on getting some reference pictures together before I start. Any ideas on where I might find information on German amphibious landings in WW2?

Sounds like that might be what I'm looking for. Where did you get them and which type is it?

Sorry, no. A quad bypass kinda put things on hold. Apparently I do not tolerate anesthesia well and a until recently couldn't remember most of the months before it. I'm starting to gain some of it back and have been looking at what I have found about the MPFs out of idle curiosity. Thanks for the question, I honestly didn't remember this post or the MPF project until I read it today.
