I would like to know what kit is that BM13 tractor with rocket launcher on top. Which manufacturer, where can I get one?

Actually it is a STZ-5 tractor with BM-13 launcher.

I found one but it is in 1/72 scale. A resin kit made by Aer.

What I found that can come close to this is the Steyr RSO/01 tractor from Tamiya #32404 but it is out of stock on all website I know.

Anybody knows if it is out of stock or out of PRODUCTION?

I believe that the RSO is well out of production, both the Italeri (long out) and Tamiya ones. Your best bet for finding one would be eBay.

Thanks for the info, I stay away from evil bay. I have to monitor my blood pressure and stay away from stress.[:)]

I think I saw a 1/35 kit of the STZ-5 advertised somewhere, maybe in MMiR. I recall it being just the cargo version, though. I think the producer may have been Eagle CZ or maybe PSP Models, I’m not sure. Try to check out Mission Models, they carry both lines. By the way, the AER 1/72 version is really bad- the one I got, anyway.Good Luck!

e-bay isn’t really that bad. you just haave to be careful and look at the seller’s ratings.

I don’t know if it will help but my LHS has an Italeri RSO towing a PAK40 gun.

8

Well! Your LHS is a little bit far from me but maybe you can have the manufacturer number?

Is it towing, or mounting the gun? I believe that Italeri does have one version of the RSO still in production.

Yan,

I’ll check it out this weekend.

Zoran,

It is towing the PAK40. Looks like an old release though but I really haven’t seen the inside of the box.
