Hello dear modeller,

Hakan Alakoç likes to work on big projects. I shared an interesting D-Day diorama by AT-AT before. Click if you want to remember:(https://miniafv...what-if-d-day-diorama-by-at-at-by.html)

Today,  I am sharing a diorama made with DORA, the most detailed model in 1/72 scale. 

A comprehensive work supplemented by a large base, buildings, vehicles and figures.

Congratulations Hakan.. This is a masterpiece..

HobbyBoss 1/72 German Land-Wasser-Schiepper (LWS) medium prod. "review page" (by Erhan Atalay)

 

Hi dear friends, 

Amphibious vehicles have always intrigued me. I have made a Japanese vehicle Dragon Ka-Mi  before. (I immediately bought this kit when HobbyBoss released it. And now it's time for some progress. 

Landwasserschlepper (LWS) was an unarmed amphibious tractor produced in Germany during World War II.

Today I am sharing an in-box preview and build process of the kit. Painting and finishing is another time..

The kit, like all new released  Hobby-Boss kits, is produced with few parts and easy to assemble.

Mold quality is excellent, I did not use any putty in assembly. However, some details need to be worked on. OOB completion is possible but not satisfactory.

There is a color printed painting chart in the 1/35 kit content, it can be used...

one-piece cabin... Details molded on it. Be careful when painting.

sprue with body and detail parts.. There are very few parts :)

detail of the deck..

boat hull..

axles..

one piece tracks.. an easy model..no problem..

decal and clear parts..

Building photos...

I masked the windows.

annoying.. the anchor rope should be wrapped around the blue marked parts.. For this, this part needs scratch-build production.

comleted..(The cabin was not glued to the deck,  the tracks were not glued...The blue zone about the anchor is waiting for me.)
