During World War II, the German armed forces occupied a huge part of the
European mainland. This included the coast from northern Norway to the
coast of the Peloponnese and the Black Sea coast in the occupied USSR.
This entire coast had to be guarded and defended. The capacity of German
patrol vessels, including the captured ones, was not enough for this
task. Therefore, based on the requirements of the OKM, the
Kriegsfischkutter patrol boat, abbreviated as KFK, was developed.
Because the need for these ships was enormous, large-scale production
began in both German shipyards and shipyards in occupied Europe. 42
shipyards in seven countries were involved. It was the largest naval
project of the Third Reich. Over 1,000 ships were ordered, and 612 were
delivered by the end of the war. KFKs were assigned to many
Marinegruppenkommando along the entire European coast. Within these
commands, they were assigned to the relevant flotillas. They were first
deployed in 1943 and fought intensively on all European seas until the
end of the war. 554 ships out of a total of 612 built were used in
combat and 135 of them were sunk in combat. A large number of KFKs were
captured at the end of the war and were used at least briefly in many
military navies. After the war, KFKs were also used in Germany during
the dangerous mine clearance of the Baltic and North Sea.
The plastic
model of this ship consists of a total of ten sprues of plastic parts.
One of them is made of clear plastic. Decals and instructions are
provided for one German KFK. The hull of the kit is 32 cm long and 9 cm
wide.
