German WWII, RSO Ambulance.

Trident, 87065. Resin, 1/87 Scale Unassembled Kit.

Raupenschlepper Ost (Caterpillar Tractor East, more commonly abbreviated to RSO) was a fullytracked, lightweight vehicle used by the German Army in WWII. It was conceived in response to the poor performance of wheeled and half-tracked vehicles in the mud and snow during the Wehrmacht's first autumn and winter on the Eastern Front.

Two variants of this vehicle were built: the basic cargo carrier, and a self-propelled antitank vehicle armed with a PaK 40 anti-tank gun. Both shared the same chassis.

 This model kit contains resin parts. Instructions included. Paint and glue are not included but can be purchased separately. This is a full hull model. It is not a waterline model.

    The factory photos may show it as a fully assembled and painted model. 

      Some photos may not be of actual models. Photos may show them in real life use.
