AFV Club 35164 Sd.Kfz.164 Nashorn (1/35) – Plastic Model Kit

The AFV Club 35164 Sd.Kfz.164 Nashorn in 1:35 scale is an advanced assembly kit representing the highly esteemed German tank destroyer from World War II. The Nashorn, originally named Hornisse, was developed in 1942 based on the Panzer IV chassis and was equipped with the powerful 8.8 cm PaK 43 L/71 anti-tank gun, capable of neutralizing even the most heavily armored Allied vehicles. This vehicle was used by the Wehrmacht primarily on the Eastern Front and to a lesser extent in Italy. The production of the Nashorn lasted from 1943 to 1945, and the vehicle proved itself both in defensive and offensive operations.

The AFV Club kit offers a model with outstanding detail—notably the finely rendered chassis, realistic hull construction, and interior of the fighting compartment. The box contains plastic components made from high-quality polystyrene, precisely molded for ease of assembly and an impressive final appearance. The parts are sharply defined, ensuring an excellent fit. The kit does not include extras such as a metal barrel or photo-etched elements, but the level of detail is very satisfying for intermediate and advanced modelers.
