This product has been designed with the detailed enhancement of American armored vehicle models from World War II in mind, such as the M3 Stuart, M5 Stuart, and M8 Greyhound, which were in service with the United States Army.

The Culin Rhino modification, also known as the "Culin Hedgerow Cutter," was an innovative solution developed by Sergeant Curtis Culin during the Normandy campaign in 1944. It was a set of metal blades mounted to the front of armored vehicles, allowing them to efficiently breach dense French hedgerows (bocage), which posed a serious obstacle to the Allies after the Normandy landings. This device significantly increased the mobility of Allied tanks, had a major impact on the course of frontline operations, and was widely used until the end of World War II.
