The Nashorn (German for "rhinoceros", previously known as the Hornisse) was one of the most effective German self-propelled tank destroyers of World War II. Mounted on the Panzer IV chassis, the exceptionally long 8.8cm Pak 43/1 L/71 gun provided extremely high accuracy and penetration power—key advantages in combat against Soviet IS and T-34 tanks. The Nashorn was widely used from 1943 on the Eastern Front, as well as in Normandy and Italy.

Aber's barrel is faithfully reproduced with correct proportions and historical details, including the characteristic muzzle shape and smooth finish, allowing you to achieve a realistic final effect even in the most demanding dioramas. It replaces the original plastic model part and allows for much more precise finishing. The metal construction also provides protection against bending and breakage.

We recommend the Aber 35L-128 for both intermediate and experienced modelers (assembly difficulty level: 3/5). It is perfect for anyone looking to enhance the realism of their WWII armored vehicle models.

By replacing the plastic barrel with Aber's turned brass version, you significantly improve the final appearance of your Nashorn and acquire a product that fits seamlessly into models from brands such as Tamiya, Dragon, or Revell in 1/35 scale.
