1/144 German Landing group 27/52

Before I will present the next new designs I took pictures of my today existing German Kriegsmarine designs. Most of them are Landungsboote, meaning to bring staff and tanks / trucks on land.

Today I present you some of my smaller vessel from the German Kriegsmarine.

The armada is built by 

- 2 Infanterietransporter

- Pionierlandungsboot 39 

1/144 Sturmmörser 28 cm 38 (D) 26 / 52

Normally I do not build or collect something what do not saw any action during WWII. But no rule without exceptions. The Sturmmörser is such an exception. Somehow I liked it and the price for the unassembled kit was okay.
So here my Sturmmörser 28 cm 38D.

1/144 Tornado Sprengboot 25/52

The Tornado Sprengboot was one of the very desperite Trials to Change everything -  when it was already too late.
As far as I could find out, there was at least one prototype which was used for Trails. When the Russians came closer, the Germans Blow up everything.

The design is very simple, the swimmer are from the Ju 52, the engine is from the V1.

1/144 12,8 cm Twin Flak on culemeyer 24/52

Today I present a project which I started two years ago. When CGD announced the 12,8 cm Twin Flak I remembered that in Aberdeen was a Twin Flak on a Culemeyer Transporter. But not that the Culemeyer transported the Flak, no, is was welded on the platform of the Culemeyer. The Culemeyer in the six Wheel Version I just had designed, so an easy conversion. Somehow it took me over two years to finalise everything. So today I present you the finished model with a Little delay.
The painting is different from what you can find on the Internet, but I doubt the painting you can see in Aberdeen. The Culemeyer Trailers never belonged to the Wehrmacht, so they were Maybe in a dark Grey but not painted in Wehrmacht Schema.
Most of the 12.8 Flak had the old grey Coating, so I went with this combination.

Bad luck, I found no Information who used this combination, was it a prototype, a field conversion or where was it found.
