Tamiya 32600 German Self-Propelled Heavy Anti-Tank Gun Nashorn 1/48

The Tamiya 32600 German Self-Propelled Heavy Anti-Tank Gun Nashorn model in 1/48 scale is an extremely detailed plastic model kit representing the German Nashorn self-propelled gun from the period of World War II. This versatile vehicle was one of the biggest threats to Allied tanks, especially since its debut in the famous Battle of Kursk in 1943. The Nashorn was developed on a chassis combining elements of both the Pz.Kpfw. III and IV, which allowed for the installation of the powerful 8.8 cm PaK 43/1 anti-tank gun – one of the most effective anti-tank weapons of its era. The Germans used the Nashorn until the end of the war, mainly on the Eastern and Western fronts, where this vehicle stood out for its ability to destroy even the heaviest Allied tanks from long range.
