Italeri 0355 RSO / PAK 40 1/35 - Plastic Model Kit

Italeri 0355 RSO / PAK 40 1/35 is a high-quality plastic model kit representing the German Raupenschlepper Ost (RSO) tracked tractor with an anti-tank PaK 40 gun in 1/35 scale. This model reflects the practical and effective technical solutions used by the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front during World War II, in the years 1942–1945.

The Raupenschlepper Ost (RSO) was developed as a response to the extreme muddy and winter conditions on the Eastern Front—designed by the Austrian company Steyr, it gained wide recognition for its reliability and versatility. From 1943 onwards, a combat version was also produced, armed with the famous 7.5 cm PaK 40 anti-tank gun, to support infantry units and serve as improvised self-propelled anti-tank artillery.

This Italeri kit allows you to build one of three variants of this vehicle—the choice of version is possible thanks to a new decal sheet dedicated to different Wehrmacht units. The model features easy assembly thanks to glue-on rubber tracks, which significantly simplify and speed up the build process. The box also includes a color assembly instruction, precisely guiding you through all the steps.
