About product

Bronco 1:35 Land-Wasser-Schlepper (Early Production) - a plastic kit

This injection-molded plastic kit from the manufacturer Bronco captures the German amphibious tracked tractor Land-Wasser-Schlepper (LWS) in its early production version, in 1:35 scale. The set contains a finely rendered hull and running gear, individual track links and photo-etched parts; the exact number of parts and schemes is given on the box.

The real subject

The Land-Wasser-Schlepper was an amphibious engineer tractor the German army ordered as early as the 1930s. The hull resembled a tracked boat: on land it ran on steel tracks, and on water it was driven by a pair of propellers with two rudders. It was powered by a Maybach gasoline engine. The machine was to pull unpowered boats up onto the shore, tow vehicles across beaches and carry supplies straight onto the coast; it was also counted on for the planned invasion of England. Only a few were built and their use remained limited.

Building and painting tips

First assemble and paint the running gear and the interior spaces, and only then close the hull up - once it is glued you will not reach them. Glue the individual track links with liquid cement for plastic and let them become tacky so that you can shape them over the rollers. On an amphibian it pays to distinguish the waterline: darken the underwater part of the hull and add a suggestion of limescale and algae, and weather the parts above the water with dust. For weathering use washes in the recesses and pigments for mud effects.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of German amphibious and engineer equipment of the Second World War
  • Builders of dioramas with the theme of crossing a water obstacle or a landing
  • More experienced modelers with experience of individual track links and photo-etched parts

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
