Designed to provide the German Army with dependable mobility across the difficult terrain of the Eastern Front, the Raupenschlepper Ost (RSO) was a compact tracked tractor used for transporting supplies, towing equipment and supporting frontline operations. The RSO/01 was the first production version and is instantly recognisable by its distinctive rounded cab and rugged tracked running gear.
Please note this is an unassembled plastic model kit requiring assembly; paints, cement and hobby tools are not included and are required to complete the model.
Tamiya's 1/35 scale kit faithfully recreates the RSO/01 with carefully reproduced mechanical and exterior details. The characteristic pressed-steel cab, cargo platform and tracked suspension are all captured in scale, while the cargo platform can be displayed with or without its cover.
The kit also includes a driver figure, two marking options and masking stickers for the windows and window frames, making it an excellent choice for both standalone display and WWII diorama projects.
