Does anyone know if any manufacturer produces the "K" Class landing barge in 20mm? It was a British vessel, and was used by Spanish Republicans during their amphibious assault of Majorca in 1936 (this is why I'm looking for it). |

Cuchulainn, as far as I know, there isn't a model produced of the K-class landing barge. I did find this for you, though: link Good luck on your project, Cuchulainn! |

This looks like a "Z-craft", a landing barge the British used in WW1. Interesting boat. How many were used in the landing? Were any armed? I may do her in 1/600. Dave G.

Dave, I made some copies of the Spanish OOB from the book 'The Betrothed of Death', which is the story of the Spanish Foreign Legion's actions during the Rif War. I'll have to locate it and find out. In the meantime, here are a couple of pics of the operation, which took place on September 8, 1925: link link |
