$44 USD US for 2x Fairmile D's. Wow.
$99 USD US for a RN Fleet Box looks pretty good now.
We'll have to hope Warlord sells individual ship sprues so we can get some F-Lighters for the German fleet.
In preparation for its proposed invasion of Malta, the Regia Marina secured design plans from the Kriegsmarine for the MFP-A in late 1941 and placed an initial order for 65 vessels.
By July of 1942, the month slated for the Malta invasion, all 65 MZs had been completed and were ready for deployment. On 27 July, however, the invasion was indefinitely postponed and many Italian MZs were diverted to the task of ferrying supplies from Italy to Libya and between ports along the Libyan coast to support Panzerarmee Afrika's advance into Egypt.
In September 1942, 40 additional MZs were ordered. This modified version featured a raised bow to improve sea-keeping, a strengthened keel, larger fuel tanks for increased range, a lining of concrete "armor" 100mm thick for anti-splinter protection and a second 20mm AA gun mounted amidships.
