TAMIYA 35394 1/35 SCALE GERMAN TRACTOR RSO/01


To be unveiled for the first time at the “2026 IPMS/USA National Convention,” a model event held in Indiana, USA, from Wednesday, August 5th

During World War II, the German army, troubled by the deep snow and rough roads of Russia, developed the RSO (=RaupenSchlepper Ost: Eastern Tracked Tractor) as a countermeasure. The RSO had a tracked chassis and a 70-horsepower air-cooled engine, allowing for stable driving at low speeds regardless of the road surface. The first production type, the RSO/01, is characterized by its rounded cabin made of pressed steel plate. Production began in October 1942, and from the spring of the following year, improvements were made, such as raising the bottom of the cabin by about 30 mm to avoid interference between the snow tracks and the body. In addition, some vehicles were seen with the exhaust pipe silencer removed, and snow tracks could be attached to the tracks to improve off-road capability. The RSO continued to operate in a wide range of theaters of theater, including the Eastern Front, towing artillery and transporting supplies.

Model Specifications
★Overall length 126mm, overall width 64mm. Modeled to capture the characteristics of vehicles produced from spring 1943 onwards based on research of the actual vehicle. ★The rounded cabin, created by press molding, is realistically reproduced. ★The cargo bed can be displayed with the canvas cover extended or with only the canvas frame remaining. ★The tracks are of the partial link type with straight sections as a single piece. ★Includes one driver figure, two types of waterslide decals (including one for the Eastern Front in 1944), and pre-cut mask stickers for painting windows and window frames.

Upcoming TAMIYA 58762 Clod Buster 1/10 Big-Foot Chassis Monster Truck Kit Release


Tamiya 58762 Clod Buster: 1/10 Monster Truck with Big-Foot Character
The Tamiya 58762 Clod Buster returns as a purposefully styled monster truck kit aimed at hobbyists who value scale presence and an unmistakable silhouette. The 2026 release emphasizes the model’s visual heft and traditional big-foot proportions rather than lightweight racing attributes. The kit’s design intent is evident in the body lines, wheel spacing, and the overall setup that recalls the original Clod Buster character.

Chassis and mechanical character
The package centers on a Big-Foot style chassis that prioritizes visual scale and rugged aesthetics. Structural choices favor a broad stance and a robust-looking underframe, giving the completed model a substantial road-hugging appearance. Expect layout decisions that support larger wheels and pronounced fender gaps, consistent with monster truck styling in this segment.

Bodywork and scale presence
The Clod Buster body reproduces the familiar blocky fenders and raised ride height associated with big-foot trucks. Panel details and proportions are arranged to read clearly at 1/10 scale, which helps the model hold its presence on display. The shell and accessories focus on recognizable cues rather than micro-scale surface detailing, aligning with the model’s display and collection appeal.

Suitability and intended audience
This kit is oriented toward model builders and collectors who prefer assembling a visually striking monster truck. The 58762 Clod Buster fits well for those who enjoy a heavier-looking truck for display or casual off-road running rather than those seeking lightweight or circuit-oriented performance. The build offers an opportunity to assemble a classic-format monster truck within a familiar Tamiya kit structure.

Build impressions without procedural guidance
The kit’s structural choices and component layout suggest moderate assembly complexity typical of branded plastic kits in this class. Fit and finish are aimed at hobbyists accustomed to kit assembly; the model rewards careful assembly for best visual results. The emphasis remains on recreating the Clod Buster aesthetic at a scale that is display-friendly and mechanically straightforward.
