Tamiya 32600 - 1/48 Scale German Nashorn Heavy Anti-Tank Gun Model Kit - Precision scale kit for collectors  [32600]

Nashorn 1/48 scale - concise model introduction

The Tamiya 1/48 scale kit of the German Self-Propelled Heavy Anti-Tank Gun Nashorn provides a faithful small-scale interpretation of this WWII vehicle. Built to face Soviet T-34 and KV tanks, the Nashorn was fitted with the L/71 8.8cm Pak43/1 gun, noted for outstanding long-range penetration. Reports from the Italian Front include an engagement where an M4 Sherman was hit at approximately 2.8 kilometres.

Model accuracy and functional details

Surface detail and proportions are carefully reproduced in this kit. The suspension layout and hull sides are accurately modelled, and the main gun is capable of realistic elevation, depression and traverse. Track runs are supplied as straight single-piece sections with an intended upper run sag, and plate weights are provided to give the model a more convincing feel when complete.

Suitability for display and historical modelling

The Nashorn's combat history, particularly on the Eastern Front, makes this kit a compelling subject for historically minded displays. Included is a winter-uniform figure and two marking choices from 1944, letting modellers depict different units or operations. This kit fits collectors and serious modellers seeking a compact but accurate addition to their collection.
