Tamiya 1:48 scale Sd.kfz 164 Nashorn

[19kilo]

One last quick little build while I’m off between Christmas and New Years. This was a really fun build I must say. I did this one in the camouflage and markings of Schwere Panzerjäger Abteilung 88 on the Eastern Front 1944. Anyway, here she is…

That’s the look I was going for. At this point in the war (spring/summer 1944) the panzerjäger Abteilungs on the Eastern Front were operating as fire brigades, shuffling from sector to sector, being attached to one division and then another constantly, to seal off Red Army tank penetrations. These guys, and their vehicles, were being run ragged.

Nice work! Those Tamiya 1/48 kits are really hard to beat for a balance of quality, detail, and ease of assembly.

Man that’s too cool! I’ll have to give one of these kits a go.

Very nicely done. The amount of weathering you did really gives your Nashorn a well used appearance. Very effective.

I've gotta say that this looks pretty dang spiffy the way you have it all painted and weathered up kilo. This build reminds me of a friend of mine who built one of these when we were stationed in Pueblo Colorado for a year or so and he enjoyed it alot as it seemed to be pretty easy to put together. Good work on this one.
