Well it's taken literally years but I finally won our club's monthly kit raffle.

And I wona Hobby Boss Land Wasser schlepper. Now how should I whif this? I was thinking of adding a panzer II turret and making it some sort of forward assault craft.



Get this Cheese to sick bay!

I've always thought a gunboat would be a nice effort for the LWS.

I'm with you with that idea - make it an Amphibious Assault Transport - I even did a profile of that idea a while back.  Will try to find it.

One could put a steam stack out the top and cannons out the port windows as a grape shot firing land crawler.    :blink: :blink: :party:

"hollow out" the cabin, raise the sides and stick a ramp on the rear - make it into a proper useful LVT.  I'm thinking in my head of the pics of UK Buffalos crossing the Rhine with Jeeps and stuff inside them.

SdKfz. 234 Puma turret? Mounts a 20mm cannon, or 50mm gun.

There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

Something a bit more radical - Martian dune patrol vehicle?

Taking the ASR suggestion & running with it, paint it bright colours, weather it & stick an International Rescue logo on the side of it!

Running with the assault craft suggestion, how about rocket armed version, borrow the launchers from a Panzerwerfer or similar?  Soften up the beaches while heading up the Thames, Solent, The Wash or Humber.  Wasserwerfer (doesn't quite work, I think)?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
