[mikey117us]

This WIP Thread is to Highlight my new WIP Models Suitable for the Black Sea campaign of the Axis Powers ( other Theaters also wherever a Coastal area needed transport and Convoy, and Port Protection These vessels were there ) This is a Marine Artilleri Leichter type II, ( Type I, and Ia will follow later ). Also this thread will contain other types of Landing craft like MFP Type A-B-C and Variants like the AFP, and Sperrbrecher, and Minelayer versions. This Vessel is 100% Complete and the pics are Beta Tests confronting a large sea force and air units for weapons testing. Addendum: The 3rd Transport Flotilla in the Black Sea had two designated Medical Transports unarmed F-339 and F-341, These are MFP Type A I will have a Loadout Internal Cargo Wounded Soldiers , external Upper Surface Red Cross Marked for Hospital. Also in the Black Sea an MFP Type A F-368 and MFP Type C F-469 were Tankers, MFP Type A F-337 was a Sperrbrecher, MFP Type C2m F-419 was a Minelayer, and MFP Type A F-368 was a Q-Ship with Depth Charges and ASW gear attached to U-Jagd 118. Also for Port Protection in te Black Sea Three MFPs Type A ( formerly F-102-104-207 ) were converted to AFP AF-51,52,and 53. Also I will roster ( Received five ) MFP Type D to Romania.
