Tamiya 32600 - 1/48 Scale German Nashorn Heavy Anti-Tank Gun Model Kit - Detailed Nashorn for scale modellers  [32600]

Nashorn in miniature - 1/48 scale overview

The Tamiya 1/48 scale Nashorn kit captures the profile of the German Self-Propelled Heavy Anti-Tank Gun in tidy scale. Developed to meet the challenge posed by Soviet T-34 and KV tanks, the Nashorn mounted the L/71 8.8cm Pak43/1 gun, valued for its long-range punch. Accounts from the Italian Front cite an engagement where an M4 Sherman was knocked out at around 2.8 kilometres.

Kit craftsmanship and realistic movement

This kit presents crisp surface detail and faithful geometry. The hull sides and suspension parts are modelled with care, and the main gun is built to move through realistic elevation, depression and traverse. Track pieces come as single straight sections with a lifelike upper run droop, and plate weights are supplied to simulate the vehicle's mass.

Historical appeal and display options

With a service record concentrated on the Eastern Front and secondary theatres, the Nashorn brings strong historical context to a shelf or diorama. The kit includes a winter-clad figure and two marking choices from 1944, allowing modellers to pick a theatre-accurate finish. It suits those who focus on period accuracy and small-scale displays.
