Of late we have seen U.S. tractors in kit form, this time around a kit of a German-made vehicle is provided to us by Custom-Scale.
The Hanomag RL20 was a wheeled tractor produced from 1937 to 1942. To keep costs down, it used components that were already used in Hanomag’s passenger car production, thus having the look of a passenger car. It was powered with a Type D19 1.9 litre 4-cylinder diesel engine that generated 20 HP. It was classified by the Wehrmacht as leichter Radschlepper (o). It is estimated that more than 4,000 units have been produced.

Custom-Scale’s Hanomag RL20 Bauernschlepper mit Dach (35070) is a full resin kit rendered in 1/35 scale.

The background information on the vehicle was sourced from Wikibooks and www.kfzwehrmacht.de.

The version without a roof: LINK Horrendous or not, that depends on what you classify as horrendous 50 Euros is fairly normal for a resin kit of this size. I presume that the roof will not add too much to the price. Still the same "bowl" seat though, don't know if the Wehrmacht ever used the version with the bench seat ... For the same money you could get Dragons Sd.Kfz. 250/3 Greif LINK On the other hand you could get a V170 for considerably less: LINK It is all a matter of personal choice and preferences, build a less common kit or something like the 250/3 ? I wonder what the Wehrmacht or Luftwaffe used them for, hauling smallish trailers or smaller airplanes on an airfield maybe or pulling smaller loads in depots .... Would be nice with a 1/35 Luftwaffe fighter plane, would make a nice diorama with one of ICM's or Miniarts "civilian" cars LINK or maybe LINK It's a cute little thing though / Robin
