ICM Models 1/35 German Leichttraktor Rheinmetall 1930 Tank

Leichttraktor (with it. - “light tractor”) - German light tank of the 1930s. Also known as Kleintraktor and VK31.

Designing the tank made Krupp and Rheinmetall-Borsig. Both companies were developing together, so it is not surprising that their prototypes turned out to be very similar in appearance. Having no experience in building tank chassis, the German engineers from Rheinmetall decided to use the undercarriage from a tracked tractor. Krupp engineers did not trust the tractor chassis and started developing their own undercarriage. Interestingly, Rheinmetall was responsible for assembling the towers and installing weapons.

The kit includes:

• frames with details
• decal (sticker)
• the frame is made of transparent plastic
• scheme for coloring model
• step by step assembly instructions
