Tamiya 32600 - 1/48 Scale German Nashorn Heavy Anti-Tank Gun Model Kit - Precision build and display subject  [32600]

Compact Nashorn model - 1/48 scale summary

The Tamiya 1/48 scale Nashorn kit recreates the German Self-Propelled Heavy Anti-Tank Gun in a space-saving scale with strong detail. Fielded to counter Soviet T-34 and KV tanks, the Nashorn carried the potent L/71 8.8cm Pak43/1 gun, prized for its ability to engage targets at long ranges. Notable records include a hit on an M4 Sherman at an estimated 2.8 kilometres on the Italian Front.

Build features and authentic mechanisms

This model emphasises authentic surface detail and correct proportions. The hull and suspension are modelled accurately, and the main gun allows realistic elevation, depression and traversal. Tracks are supplied as single-piece straight segments with a natural-looking upper run sag, and the kit includes plate weights to add realism to the finished build.

Display appeal and historical background

Because of its operational role, particularly on the Eastern Front, the Nashorn adds credible historical interest to displays. The kit comes with a winter-uniform figure and two marking sets from 1944, so you can depict specific units or engagements. It is recommended for builders who want a compact but faithful subject for display or diorama use.
