HobbyBoss 1/72 German Land-Wasser-Schlepper (LWS) Medium production Plastic Model Kit [82919]

Development of the Land-wasser-schlepper (Land-Water-Tractor) started in 1936, but the first 7 vehicles were completed in July of 1940.

An additional 14 were produced by March of 1941.

It was designed by Rheinmetall-Borsig as an amphibious vehicle for use by engineers but it lacked storage and loading/unloading access.

To overcome this problem, special 10 and 20 ton amphibious trailers were made.

It carried 3 to 5 men crew and 20 passengers.

Another problem was that it was unarmored and could not operate effectively in the combat area. LWS saw service in RussiaandNorth Africa.
