With few well-paved roads available, rain and snow could render the terrain almost impassable, as Germany found out during their first winter in 1941-42. For such difficult conditions, Germany realized it needed special tracked vehicles to traverse Russia’s roads and countryside. One solution offered up was the Raupenschlepper Ost (literally “Caterpillar Tractor East”, or “RSO” for short). The RSO, based on the Steyr 1500A light truck, was initially conceived as a prime mover and tractor for towing artillery pieces, although it was eventually put to many uses. The fully tracked vehicle performed very well in the muddy conditions, and various manufacturers eventually produced 23,000 vehicles before the war ended. The RSO\/03 was a later-production variant that had a simple metal cab with a soft-top roof. It was powered to a top speed of 30km\/h by a Deutz diesel engine. A pintle was fitted at the rear for towing artillery pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDragon has followed up its earlier RSO kit mounting a PaK 40 gun with a 1\/35 scale kit of the RSO\/03. The only elements borrowed from the earlier kit are the chassis and running gear. Other parts such as the distinctive cab and cargo bed are completely new toolings in keeping with the redesigned RSO\/03. Brand new, too, is the Deutz engine. To add to the appeal of this sharply detailed kit, it comes with Dragon’s acclaimed 5cm PaK 38 antitank cannon. This set thus creates a duo that was commonly seen on battlefields on the Eastern Front as antitank weapons and supplies were ferried to the places they were needed most. For an instant diorama in a muddy and snowy scene, this kit offers the perfect combination of pulling power and firepower!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Now! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-04-22T17:30:37+08:00","created_at":"2021-04-22T17:25:30+08:00","vendor":"Dragon","type":"Military","tags":["1\/35","Brand_Dragon","Dragon","Military","Scale Models","scale_1\/35","Series_Military Vehicles","Status_Out of Stock"],"price":30800,"price_min":30800,"price_max":30800,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39768351572162,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DR06684","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"1\/35 German RSO\/03 w\/5cm PaK 38 (SMART KIT)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":30800,"weight":2000,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/6684SpotProduction.jpg?v=1619083790","\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/6684poster_NEW.jpg?v=1619083790"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/6684SpotProduction.jpg?v=1619083790","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":20759403856066,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.322,"height":1079,"width":1426,"src":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/6684SpotProduction.jpg?v=1619083790"},"aspect_ratio":1.322,"height":1079,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/6684SpotProduction.jpg?v=1619083790","width":1426},{"alt":null,"id":20759403823298,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.707,"height":2121,"width":1500,"src":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/6684poster_NEW.jpg?v=1619083790"},"aspect_ratio":0.707,"height":2121,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/6684poster_NEW.jpg?v=1619083790","width":1500}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch3\u003eDragon 6684 - 1\/35 German RSO\/03 w\/5cm PaK 38 (SMART KIT)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpot Production! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnprecedented Value \u0026amp; Quality!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Eastern Front presented many difficulties during WWII, one of which was the harsh weather.
