Product Description

- The combination of the simple style of the RSO and the mechanical anti-tank gun is appealing.

[About the actual car]
- The Eastern Front is covered in rain, snow and mud.
- The RSO tractor was developed as a solution to the problem of wheeled vehicles making it difficult to transport and tow supplies.
- As the name RSO RaupenSchlepper Ost (Eastern Tracked Towing Vehicle) suggests, this tracked tractor was designed to withstand the muddy roads on the Eastern Front. Taking advantage of its low cost and simple structure, it was mass-produced and sent to the front lines.
- Variation models were also produced, including the gasoline-engine RSO/2, the diesel-engine RSO/3, and a self-propelled gun equipped with a 75mm PaK 40 anti-tank gun.
- Due to its high maneuverability in muddy areas, it also proved effective as a towing vehicle for various artillery pieces.

[About the model]
- This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the RSO tractor and the 5cm PaK38 mounted vehicle it towed, developed and used by the German army during World War II.
- The general-purpose tractor, RSO, not only has a distinctive style, but also has a detailed reproduction of the fighting compartment, chassis, engine, transmission and drive shaft.
- Of the various types, this model is based on the diesel-engine RSO/3.
- The RSO accurately reproduces the simple design of the body, which is composed of flat surfaces, and the doors and side panels of the loading platform can be assembled in either open, closed, or lying down position.
- In addition, this kit also includes the 5cm Pak38 anti-tank gun that was used on the battlefield. Modelers will not want to miss the mechanical details.
