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

Hobby Boss 1/35 Land-Wasser-Schlepper (LWS) Historical Model

The Land-Wasser-Schlepper, built by Rheinmetall-Borsig, was a specialised World War II amphibious tractor intended for engineering tasks. Introduced in 1940, production totalled 21 vehicles by early 1941, and its small cargo area plus no armour limited operational use.

Assembling the Land-Wasser-Schlepper Kit

This Hobby Boss 1/35 kit aims to replicate the LWS form and amphibious traits. The build is moderately complex and benefits from careful fit work and accurate painting to reflect its service in campaigns such as Russia and North Africa.

Display Considerations

As a finished model, the Land-Wasser-Schlepper provides an intriguing exhibit for collections focused on experimental or support vehicles, showing both clever engineering and wartime compromises.
