Thanks' Michael. Coming from a Pro it's a great compliment...

Ulf Petersen
Very nice scene!👍
The Italeri-RSO and Tamiya-Kettenkrad are another ones of my first model kits of the early 80s. 🙂 Nice to see that they still are able to make attractive models.

Rui S
Thanks for your nice comments Ulf. I used to look to the RSO as a very strange vehicle but after building this kit, I started to like it a lot...

Rui S
Thanks for your nice comment Hanno. I'm very glad that this dio made you remember your grandfather and relive his stories (I'm sure very interesting ones)...
P.S. Thanks for sharing that information...

Donald Medley

Beautiful work in every regard. Very nice scene and the weathering is fantastic.

Pietro De Angelis
It's always incredible what you can get out of old models,
congratulations Rui!

Mr James
Really good rust effect on the exhaust. Lovely diorama

Rui S
@ gvizbi, thx a lot for your kind comment on this old one. Coming from such a talented modeler it feels great
@ Pietro, Thank you very much for your kind support. Much appreciated. I really enjoy work on oldies.
@ Mr James. Glad you like this one. Thank you.
Interesting to see this oldies come to surface 🤔

Doubtingmango
The weathering really is beautiful. I love the old Italeri kits. My first kits were the old Testors brand.

Rui S
Hi Doubtingmango, thank you for your comment. Apreciated.
I still like Italeri kits, and I have great respect for them and also some in stash that I hope to build 😉

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Pavlo Yakovenko
unusual model, very nice

Rui S
@Villiers de Vos, thank you for your comment. Glad you like this oldie
@Pavlo, thx for your kind words, when I was very young I thought this was a "what if" or science fiction vehicle 😄

Владимир Ловцов
Good job. RSO is especially good.

Rui S
Thank you for your comment Владимир Ловцов . Apreciated.
The kettenkraft was hand painted, later on the RSO was already done with airbrush, and it's easy to see the improvement from that.

Rui
Great work Rui! 👍

Jennifer Franklin
You were doing work of this caliber eight years ago!!!!

Mr James
We've got lots of catching up to do Jennifer 🙂

Jennifer Franklin
You're not kidding Mr. James

Rui S
@ Rui, Thank you for stopping by and comment, apreciated, glad you liked this one

@ Jennifer, not quite. 8 years ago I discover scalemates, and posted it, but this one was my 2nd or 3rd Dio??? Done so long ago that I don't even remember when. And I'm such a slow intermittent modeler that I used to stay years without one single build.
Than scalemates enter the scene and I was more motivated but even so my mojo it's better but still very inconsistent

@ Mr James, you may be right but don't worry, scalemates it's a never ending source of Great and new and Beautiful work's that are always appearing, that's why I'm here every single day since.

Jennifer Franklin
Okay, Rui, now I am even more impressed. For someone who started working on models about a month ago, the idea of working on them for that many years is incredible.

Rui S
Be aware Jennifer, it's an addition 😄😄 😄 but a good one, has you can confirm here in scalemates 😉

Jennifer Franklin
Yes, I think I may be addicted 🙂 🙂 🙂

Rui S
We all hope so 😉

Maxime
Hi, Rui S 🙂 ! Out of all your models, I think this one reaches the greatest level of realism and meticulousness. It's not as big as your Panther diorama but still it must have taken a long time to complete. That is some great work right there and it is definitely inspiring. I hope you have another one like this in the near future 🤙

Rui S
Hi Maxime, Thank you for your nice comment. Apreciated.
I don't know if you access all my dios. This one is an old one and I enjoy doing it and the result I got on the RSO, but in my opinion not my best work. And also not even the one with the Panther.
Anyway don't get me wrong, I'm really glad you like this one.

Thomas E.
Oldie but goldie! A "Raupenschlepper Ost" is always a great subject in my opinion. And Sa-Kuva - Please type in: RSO
There is a lovely picture. The Finns had used 10 RSO in continuation war. I think the colour is German sand, the PAK is estimated finnish 3-Tone (green-brown-grey). Finnish green and brown may be very similar on bw-photographs.

Rui S
Thank you Thomas E. apreciated. Sorry for the late reply and I agree It's a great but somehow strange subject.

gorby
Looks like an interesting project.

Jakko ‌
So far it's certainly been interesting 🙂 It's that I already had these parts and decided on this before Asuka announced their M4A3 (105 mm) kit, but I would advise anyone else wanting an M4 (105 mm) to just buy that kit and order an M4 engine deck from Asuka to put into it … (And make some other modifications, of course, like changing the rear hull to match.)

Villiers de Vos
The texturing came out very nice.

Jakko ‌
Thanks. I just hope it matches up with the molded pattern reasonably well once there's some paint over it 🙂

Rui S
I'm in 😎
