--German RSO is now available on a magic truck with a track pad for snow. This is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces RSO, a general-purpose tractor used by the German army in World War II, on a 1/35 scale.
[About the actual vehicle]
--The German troops that invaded the Soviet Union in World War II turned into ugly swamps due to bad weather, and were blocked by the vast frozen land of Russia in winter.
――The German army, which has been greatly deprived of mobility, is rushing to develop a vehicle that can run on both muddy and snowy roads.
――The result was a tracked tractor developed by Steier.
--The vehicle called RSO, which is an acronym for eastern tracked tow vehicle in German, started mass production in November 1942.
-Active in transporting materials and towing anti-tank guns.
――The mobility and reliability were immediately highly evaluated, and about 23,000 units were produced.
――The RSO has a driver's seat and a loading platform, but several variation types using the car body have also been developed.
――Self-propelled artillery was also developed and played an active role.
[About the model]
--A 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the tracked tractor RSO deployed by the German army during World War II.
――Among them, the standard type Steyr 470RSO / 01 is modeled.
-Precisely reproduce the rounded cabin and loading platform. The distinctive style is full of individuality even in the model.
――The kit models not only the appearance but also the mechanism such as the engine and suspension in detail.
-The engine is reproduced with auxiliary equipment, and the transmission is also reproduced. Furthermore, in addition to the complicated details of the suspension, the track has a realistic magic track that can be assembled.
-In addition, the snow / bog trackpad that is attached to the track on the snow is also reproduced as a separate part.
――The trackpad parts can be finished while being stored on the side of the car body, or assembled on the track of the magic track.
――In addition, the left and right doors, the side plates of the loading platform, the tailgate, etc. can be opened and closed, and the tree can be selected and assembled.
――You can choose the look of the finished product, and the range of scene production will expand.
