The track might get replaced with largish steam tractor metal wheels but this is an odd duck to my eyes, in many of the right ways of course.

mmmm Landwasserschlepper   :wub: :wub:

I wanna do one as a Riverine Gunboat for the Wehrmacht in Russia.

Gotta love something so, well, yeah....

DAMN! The APC of choice for the San Tortan Marines (San Torta is so wet that they don't have an army, only Marines)

Does a kit exist? Please tell me a kit exists! And it's affordable!
Of course, the STMC version would obviously be fitted with modernised weapons - possibly Miniguns and missile tubes.
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

Hobby Boss has also released one, altho there's some debate amongst the treadhead JMNs as to which is the more 'accurate'... Either way, one (or both) will get themselves into my stash at some time.

Paddle wheels, as the hull and superstructure look more like a Rhine steamer than an AFV.

Could've sworn I saw a 1/72nd or 1/76th kit of this on ebay the other day, but I can't find it now. It might well have been by Mirage, since I tend to get deluged with their AFV kits when I'm searching for the jet fighters.... :rolleyes:

I like Steampunk...

I've seen the Squadron listing for the LWS...it ain't cheap, but apart from PM kits, what is these days?

It wouldn't look out of place with some Dahlgrens and a Gatling...Of course you would have to add a large shark mouth too :bow:
