Border Models Military 1/35 SdKfz 164 Nashorn Tank (First Edition) Kit
Nashorn (German "Rhinoceros"), initially known as Hornisse (German "Hornet"), was a German tank destroyer of World War II. It was developed as an interim solution in 1942 by equipping a light turretless chassis with the PaK 43 heavy anti-tank gun. Though only lightly armored and displaying a high profile, it could frontally penetrate any Allied tank at long range, and its relatively low cost and superior mobility to heavier vehicles ensured it remained in production until the war's end.
The new tooled Nashorn from Border Model is an upgrade from the older Tamiya kit. There is a raft of features, like a metal barrel (& ammo included), the choice of two versions of Nashorn, either the early or the command tank version, and the four figures of the crew provided make this a great addition to your collection. Link and length tracks are included as well as photo-etch to replicate the thinner parts. Sharp eyes will also see that spare T-34 tracks are included, as well as the inevitable bucket for the rear of the tank.
