Dragon Models 1:72 63174

Nashorn (rhinoceros), initially known as Hornisse (hornet), was a German tank destroyer of World War II. It was developed as an interim solution in 1942 by equipping a light turretless chassis with the Pak 43 heavy anti-tank gun. Though only lightly armoured and displaying a high profile, it could frontally penetrate any Allied tank at long range, and its relatively low cost and superior mobility to heavier vehicles ensured it remained in production until the war's end.

The Nashorn or, "Rhinoceros", was a tank hunter used by the Germans in WWII. The Nashorn began production in early 1943 with an 88mm anti-tank gun, the same gun used on the Tiger. It was design on a lengthened new Panzer III/IV (a mixture of the Panzer III and IV) chassis, with the gun being surrounded with an open topped superstructure. The tanks debut was made in the battle of Kursk 1943 where it met much success due to its ability to engage enemy tanks at a distance at which the allied tanks could not hit or penetrate it.
