Dear Modellers
Deans Marine wish to announcethe latest addition to the range of fast launch kits.
Details on our website opening page. deansmarine.co.uk
B.P.C. 71.6" MOTOR GUN BOAT 77. 74 Type
Following the design of the SGB and its shortcomings, The Admiralty working in conjunction
with British power Boats designed a MGB to fill similar duties but with the simpler
construction than that of the SGB design.
In 1941 the type 74 design was produced with similar lines to the 1938 PV design but with a
considerably stronger structure. This batch is based on one of this group commanded by Lt
Cmd Hitchens of “E Boat alley” fame.
The success of this design resulted in a second order in 1942 for the craft with order for
boats from numbers 107 -176.
They were powered with 3 shafts x 3 Packard engines giving 4,050 BHP with a top speed
of 42 knots in good condition.
Weapon fit was one 2pdr gun and a twin 20mm powered mount and two twin 303 Vickers or
Lewis gun on pedestal mountings. She carried a compliment of 12 officers and crew
The model of this craft, one of the fastest M.G.Bs. to serve during W.W.11, with a top speed
of over 40 knots.
