German heavy truck Skoda RSO in 1/72 scale
All resin parts are very well cast without
any bubbles. You can find only few fine simply
removable flashes on some of them. The brass
sheet includes all fine etched parts necessary
for detailing of cab interior as well as
exterior of whole vehicle. The last part of the
kit is fine clear plastic sheet with preprinted
windscreen and window glasses shape. This saves
much work because you do not have to take exact
measures of each window, than draw it and cat
”the glass” off clear plastic sheet. You
just have to cut each ”glass” off sheet and
place it into due window. We thank Extratech
company lend us the kit for our preview.

General Impression
I think you can simply build very nice model of rare heavy truck designed by prof. Porsche and produced for Germans in Czech factory Skoda Pilsen out of this kit.
Note
This vehicle is also known
under name ”Radschlepper Ost” because it was designed
specially for heavy terrain of East Front. Nevertheless,
thanks changed situation, all of 200 produced trucks served
on West Front only in 1944-45.
