Sd.Kfz.164 Nashorn
The Nashorn was a tank destroyer developed as an interim solution to combat increasing armor threats in the battlefield. It was based primarily on the Panzer IV chassis and the 88mm PAK 43 gun.
The Nashorn is a favorite topic of mine since it offers a complex gun arrangement in the large and open fighting compartment and a high diversity of production variants and camouflage schemes. Dragon's 1/35 Nashorn is a highly detailed kit engineered well to prevent getting bogged down in the complexity of the build without compromising the intricate details that characterize the tank.
Looks awesome Rafi, beautiful job. The many different camo schemes is what I like most about modeling German WW2 subjects. It seams like their is no end to the patterns, no matter what the subject is, armor or planes. You could build for a lifetime and never run out of possibilities.
Thank you Clint.
Indeed, to be continued.
Rafi, @Blackmopane, this is very well done. Your weathering and paint work, especially in the fighting compartment is excellent.
Thank you Walt.
A wonderful build, Rafi @blackmopane
The chosen scheme suits this destroyer perfectly.
Well done.
Thank you John.
A nice build, great paintwork, worn but not tired.
And the hand painted squirls are really well done.
Simon.
Thank you Simon.
Fantastic job, Rafi! As always, painting and weathering are superb!
Thank you Spiros!
I’ve always admired the lines of this tank, Rafi, and you’ve made a great replica.
Thank you George.
The 88 looks formidable on all variations.
