Hobby Boss 82433 1/35 Land-Wasser-Schlepper LWS Intermediate Model Kit  [HB-82433]

Hobby Boss 1/35 Land-Wasser-Schlepper (LWS) Kit Introduction

The Land-Wasser-Schlepper was an unusual amphibious tractor developed by Rheinmetall-Borsig during World War II for engineering roles. First appearing in 1940, production reached 21 units by early 1941, and its limited carrying capacity and lack of armor constrained combat deployment.

Skill Notes for Building the LWS

The Hobby Boss 1/35 kit captures the LWS distinctive hull and craft-like features. Builders should expect a moderate assembly challenge, with careful trimming and painting needed to represent vehicles used in theatres such as Russia and North Africa.

Presentation and Collection Uses

Completed models serve well in museum-style displays or private collections focused on experimental and support vehicles from the war era, offering a clear example of inventive but limited design.
