Hobby Boss 1/35 Land-Wasser-Schlepper (LWS) Scale Summary

The Rheinmetall-Borsig Land-Wasser-Schlepper was a specialised amphibious tractor from WWII, intended for engineer use. It debuted in 1940 and production reached 21 units by early 1941, but limited cargo space and absence of armor reduced its tactical utility.

Painting and Assembly Tips for the LWS

The Hobby Boss 1/35 model faithfully renders the LWS silhouette and amphibious features. Builders should expect a moderate build complexity, paying attention to hull seams and paint layering to reflect operations in Russia and North Africa.

Why This Kit Appeals to Collectors

This model is a valuable addition for enthusiasts who collect rare or unusual WWII machines, highlighting inventive design choices alongside practical limitations from the period.

Yes, the profile and hull details make it a good candidate for small dioramas, especially wet-weather or river-crossing scenes.
No crew figures are included, so consider sourcing figures separately to populate your finished model.
Assembly time varies, but experienced builders can expect several evenings to complete the main build and basic painting; weathering adds extra time.
