The Holt 75 was a pioneering tracked machine originally used in agriculture, but from 1915 it saw widespread use with the British, French, and American armies, becoming one of the first military artillery tractors. It was used to transport heavy artillery in difficult field conditions, where previously mainly horse teams had been used. These machines proved themselves in numerous operations, including battles on the Western Front of the First World War (1915–1918).\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical period:\u003c\/strong\u003e First World War\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountries used:\u003c\/strong\u003e United Kingdom, France, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYears in service:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1915–1918 (First World War and postwar period)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality plastic with precisely reproduced details\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdd-ons:\u003c\/strong\u003e The model does not include metal parts or resin add-ons, but offers rich details cast in plastic, including clearly sculpted tracks and armament elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roden\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eRoden 814\u003c\/strong\u003e set is recommended especially for intermediate and experienced military modellers (\u003cstrong\u003edifficulty level: 3\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e).
