product description

The Sd.Kfz.164 Nashorn, German for rhinoceros, was a German tank hunter of World War II. Developed as an interim solution in 1942, the Nashorn was the result of equipping a Panzer IV chassis with the 8.8 cm Pak 43 anti-tank gun, in an open top armoured compartment. Although lightly armoured with a high profile, its 8.8 cm Pak gun could easily penetrate the front armour of any Allied tanks at long range negating the disadvantage of its light armour.

The Nashorn’s relatively low cost and superior mobility to heavier vehicles, combined with its excellent combat service thanks to its combination of excellent gunsights, optics, and accuracy ensured it remained in production from its debut during the Battle of Kursk in 1943, until the war’s end.
