1/144 Landwasserschlepper I - by CGD

"Land Water Tractor" or LWS was an unarmed amphibious tractor prototyped in 1940 originally intended for Operation Sealion.

A handful were built, but difficulties in production prevent implementation.

The LWS I entered service in 1942 and was used in Russia and North Africa.
In 1944 a completely new design (LWS II) based on Panzer IV was introduced.

The LWS remained in service untill the end of the war.
