The Tamiya 35335 Panzerjäger Nashorn is a high-fidelity 1:35 scale model kit of the German WWII tank destroyer, also known as "Rhinoceros". It combines heavy firepower with relatively light armour, making it a unique and powerful vehicle in the mid-to-late war years.

Key Features

• Scale: 1/35 – commonly used for military vehicle modelling.
• Detailed, realistic suspension and road wheels for accurate realism.
• Openable engine deck to showcase engine detail beneath.
• High-quality parts with excellent moulding and crisp detail.
• Includes a gun barrel and sIG-33 or Pak 43/1 (depending on version) for authentic representation.
• Clear instructions and optional marking schemes for different units.

Historical Background

The Nashorn ("Rhinoceros") was a German tank destroyer armed with the powerful Pak 43/1 88 mm gun. Its low production numbers, but high-impact firepower, made it a dangerous threat on the Eastern and Western Fronts during WWII. Because of its open-topped superstructure, the Nashorn was vulnerable, but its long-range firepower compensated for that weakness.

Why This Kit Is Popular

• Iconic WWII vehicle with powerful main gun and historic relevance.
• Detailed model elements allow for realistic weathering and diorama integration.
• Ideal for modellers building tank-destroyer or German anti-tank units.

Modeling Tips

• Wash the sprues before assembly to remove mold-release residues.
• Use a primer (grey or black) to highlight the jagged panel lines.
• Apply a dark wash in recesses and dry-brush metallic tones on road wheels, gun barrel and engine deck.
• Consider adding small diorama details: spent shell casings, figures, or camouflage netting to elevate realism.

Recommended for: intermediate to advanced modelers, historical model collectors, WWII diorama enthusiasts, and tank destroyer fans.
