WWII - VEHICLE LIST 1/56 scale Bolt Action

Raupenschlepper Ost/01 – /03

Raupenschlepper Ost (German: "Caterpillar Tractor East", more commonly abbreviated to RSO) was a fully tracked, lightweight vehicle used by the Wehrmacht in World War II.

The original version (RSO/01) had a pressed-steel cab with a truck-like configuration similar to the wheeled trucks. The next two versions – RSO/02 and RSO/03 – had a simpler, soft-top, slab-sided metal cab. All models had wooden, drop-side cargo beds typical of light trucks of the era. It was originally powered by a Steyr 3.5L V8 petrol engine, which in the RSO/03 was replaced by the Deutz air-cooled diesel engine. Approximately 23,000 RSO of all versions were produced.
