1/35 SCALE GERMAN TRACTOR RSO/01
In WWII, the German Wehrmacht faced deep snows and quagmire in Russia. To alleviate this problem, they developed the RSO tractor (Raupenschlepper Ost, equivalent to “tracked tractor, East”); it was slow but had great off-road stability thanks to its tracks and air-cooled V8 engine with 70 hp output. Its first mass production model RSO/01 featured a rounded cabin of pressed steel and, it could also be equipped with snow tracks for better off-road performance. Production began in October 1942 and the next year, it received updates, in particular a slightly higher cabin floor to avoid obstructing snow tracks. Some tractors also had their exhaust silencers removed. RSO tractors served as transporters of artillery and supplies on the Eastern Front and in many other theaters.
