Russian small craft

[david5]

Anyone out there have any drawings and/or photographs of the Russian 45mm flak L/46 K-21 guns and 12.7 mm FLaMG L/79 MGs,as used on small craft during WW2 ?.
Does anyone know what colour the bottom of the hulls were of the patrol boats and river tanks ?.
Does anyone know if the MO-4 class of patrol boat were steel built?.
And does anyone know what the 'F O Archiv' is ?,and how i can contact them,i would like to get some photographs.
These details taken from a German article,the gun details may be the German titles for them,any help would be very much appreciated.

David, try rhe following link,

axis history.com

There is a link to an article by Maliy Ohotnik on the MO 4. The decks at least are apparently in wood, but the article is in russian and will take me a while to translate, unless you can.

Seems to have the 2 45 mm canon you talked about (they do look very much like the salute canon still on place in Ru warships.)

There are also four of the LMG you talked about, they seem to be standard issue however, except on an adapted mounting.:cool:
