1/35 Steyr RS0/01 with German Soldiers and Accessories

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

From the manufacturer:

In order to cope with the poor road conditions of the Eastern Front, the Germans built tracked tractors to tow all types of vehicles, and also serve to carry various loads from ammunition to food supplies. The official description of this vehicle was “Raupenschlepper-Ost” (tracked tractor East).

The RSO/1 was built by the Steyr-works in then-annexed Austria. It had a commercial-type pressed steel cab, but a wooden cargo body. It proved ideal for the mud and slush conditions of the Russian front. The vehicles were part of the desperate German efforts to avoid defeat by the overwhelming Soviet armies.

• [Includes]: 7 figures and accessories, decals for 5 versions; contains winter tracks, canvas cover not included.
