Description
[Soldat der auf den LWS zeigt] "In zwei Stunden glänzt der wie frisch aus dem Werk! Oder...!"

[Soldier pointing at the LWS] "In two hours it's gonna be shining like fresh from the factory! Or else...!"

1:72 model kit by Dragon, the Landwasserschlepper Prototyp Nr. 2

Another very fine product by Dragon Armour Pro, the LWS is easy to assemble while having extremely sharp detail. The kit comes with special rubber tracks that were a little too long, so I had to cut them up a bit and glue them together again.
This version of the kit comes with a "ferry deck" or pontoon that is meant to be pulled by the LWS, connected to its side.
If you make it waterproof it can actually float, though you have to put some weight into it for it to float at the correct height.

The Landwasserschlepper (Land-water-tug) was made for the projected landing on the british beaches in 1940, Operation Sea Lion. As that was cancelled in favor of Operation Barbarossa (the assault on the soviet union) the few completed LWS served mostly on the eastern front in river crossings. This in particular is a Panzerfähre IV prototype completed in 1942.
