Tamiya 32600 - 1/48 Scale German Nashorn Heavy Anti-Tank Gun Model Kit - Compact WWII tank destroyer for modellers  [32600]

Tamiya Nashorn 1/48 scale - wartime tank destroyer overview

The Tamiya 1/48 scale model kit of the German Self-Propelled Heavy Anti-Tank Gun Nashorn gives a compact yet detailed representation of one of World War II's potent long-range tank killers. Designed to tackle Soviet T-34 and KV armour, the vehicle was armed with the L/71 8.8cm Pak43/1 gun, noted for its long-range penetration. One documented action on the Italian Front recorded the destruction of an M4 Sherman at about 2.8 kilometres.

Scale modelling detail and authentic motion

This kit reproduces the Nashorn's silhouette with finely moulded details. Suspension components and hull sides are carefully modelled, and the main gun allows authentic elevation, depression and traverse movement. Tracks come as single-piece straight sections with a realistic upper run sag, and included plate weights add heft to the completed model.

Context and display choices

The Nashorn's operational history, particularly on the Eastern Front, gives strong display provenance for diorama or shelf projects. The kit supplies a crew figure in winter uniform and two marking options from 1944 so builders can represent specific engagements. It is well suited to military history fans and experienced model builders seeking a compact, accurate subject.
