1/48 German Self-Propelled Heavy Anti-Tank Gun Nas

1/48 German Self-Propelled Heavy Anti-Tank Gun Nashorn

Tamiya is pleased to announce the addition of the German tank destroyer Nashorn as the 100th model in the 1/48 Military Miniatures series.

The German Army developed self-propelled anti-tank guns in order to counter the overpowering Russian T-34 and KV tanks, and the Nashorn had particularly overwhelming power among the many anti-tank guns produced. The production started in February 1943, and the Nashorn sported an L/71 8.8cm Pak43/1 gun which was capable of penetrating armor from a long distance.

At the Italian Front, the Nashorn knocked out an M4 Sherman at 2.8 kilometers, and its excellent firepower was indispensable to the German forces until the end of WWII.
