Miniart 1/35 RSO/01 Early Prod with Pak.40 and Crew (35485)

Today we are going to talk about new Miniart 1/35 RSO/01 Early Prod with Pak.40 and Crew (35485). As the name suggests, one box brings several kits together. Such a combo might be useful for some diorama project in popular scale. I reviewed them separately, but it will be interesting to see how they combine together. Overall packaging is typical for this brand, and all frames are sealed into one plastic bag. Let's open them all and take a closer look together.

By the way, here you can read review with another version of this vehicle.

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

First frames carry parts for the front cab as well as separate track links. Two other frames are dedicated to ammo for Pak 40.

RS0 is quite generously detailed inside, and it might be useful for some build ideas.

Pak 40 gun will also feature several wheel types and can be assembled in several versions. Roadwheels for the tracked vehicle look great out of the box.

Main barrel is molded on the separate frame. Such design will help to get a clean result.

Track lengths are useful for easier assembly on RS0. Overall design look great and should be quick to install.

Figurines come on the separate frame. Those are typical for Miniart, so you can expect nice features out of the box.

Yes, vehicle features nice engine in the standard package. Moreover, you can expose it by opening the bonnet.

Next two frames are dedicated to Pak 40 parts. Note the left bottom corner, where Miniart provides several types of the muzzle brake.

This kit is full of small parts, so be ready to work with those.

Rear bed can be assembled either open or closed with tarpauline. On the sprue above you get separate panels which should be combined together.

Main chassis will be assembled out of several parts. There is a smart guiding design, so alignment will not be an issue.

Clear frame looks great and will be handy for the front cab. Note that kit doesn't have masks for those.

Unpainted PE fret is typical for Miniart and should come handy for some small features on the vehicle.

Decals are printed in Cartograf. Printing quality looks great, and there are four markings included.

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

New kit should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is a great choice for those who would like to build diorama without searching for separate components. One box brings you quite a combo, which should look great once finished. Just add some diorama base, decide on the marking option and you will be good. I am still hoping to see masks for clear parts, but this kit will require you to cut out the stickers.
