Bronco CB35020 LandWasserSchlepper (Late-Production) 1/35

The Bronco CB35020 LandWasserSchlepper (Late-Production) in 1/35 scale is an excellent offering for advanced modelers seeking an accurately reproduced specialist vehicle from World War II. The LandWasserSchlepper (LWS) was a German amphibious tractor, developed by Rheinmetall-Borsig on behalf of the Kriegsmarine. The vehicle was designed to assist in landing operations, transporting personnel, supplies, and equipment across rivers, lakes, and coastal zones. By the end of the war, around 20 early-production units were built, along with about 100 late-production examples that featured improvements in armor, armament, and serviceability.

The LandWasserSchlepper played its largest role during German preparations for Operation Sea Lion (the planned invasion of Great Britain), as well as in other operations on the Eastern Front and in floodplain areas. The LWS was characterized by its distinctive hull construction with a large propulsion screw and was powered by a Maybach HL120 engine, also used in Panzer III and IV tanks. It served from 1940 to 1945 and remains a unique element of German engineering and landing forces.
