Product Description

--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.
