Minairt 1/35 Raupenschlepper OST RS0/01 Mid Prod (35480)

Today's article is dedicated to Minairt 1/35 Raupenschlepper OST RS0/01 Mid Prod (35480). As you can guess from the name, vehicle comes as yet another version of the tracked transport in popular scale. Previous releases offered a lot of features out of the box, so it will be interesting to see what is included here. Assembled model won't be big and should have around 151mm length. Overall packaging is typical for Miniart, and all parts come sealed in one bag. Let's open them all and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with Early version of this vehicle.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.


First frames are dedicated to mix of parts. Here you will find front cab panels as well as drivetrain elements and even drive sprockets. There are a lot of premolded features, so be sure to pick them out with help of weathering.


This is still an interior set, and there are a lot of things to be installed in the model. Such a feature can be handy for some diorama ideas.


Metal roadwheels come on several frames and should be easy to install on your model. Separate track links are always welcome, but be ready to spend some time on assembling those together.


Kit offers two assembly options for the rear section. Here you can see frames for the open version, and on the next photos in the article you will see tarp sections.


Yes, engine is also here. It looks great out of the box, but I wonder how to show it on the finished build. You can open the bonnet for example.


Here you can see track lengths and tarpauline for the covered version. Both look fine and deserve a nice paintwork.


Whole kit is not that complicated, but size will take its own due on some modelers with bad eyesight. Molding quality looks great here, I didn't find any possible issue.


Clear frame is packed into separate plastic bag. Parts look like a real glass, but there are no masks included in the kit.


PE fret will come handy for some fine features on your model.


Decals sheet is not that big, and it comes from Cartograf. Printing quality looks great, and all markings are shown on the photo below.


Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.


New vehicle should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is a great choice for modelers who would like to build something different in popular scale. Moreover, Miniart offers a lot of things out of the box, so there is a great potential for some diorama ideas. I wonder if there will be a separate figurines set for this Raupenschlepper, but for now you can find at least driver figurine.
