Platz 1/35 Scale World War II German Sd.Kfz. 164 Hornisse Self-Propelled Gun Plastic Model Kit DR6165

This 1/35 scale model recreates the Sd.Kfz.164, the most powerful self-propelled anti-tank gun developed by the German army during World War II. It recreates the early model of the Nashorn, also known as the Hornisse. It features an open-top fighting compartment mounted on a Panzer III/IV chassis and a long-barreled 8.8cm gun, giving it a powerful and mechanically appealing style. The lower chassis is recreated using a slide mold, recreating the side details in three dimensions, ensuring reliable assembly. The leaf spring suspension, road wheels, mobile wheels, and guide wheels are all accurately reproduced. The upper hull also features a realistic modeling of the fighting compartment floor at the rear. The armor plates surrounding the fighting compartment are assembled using separate parts. The various equipment inside the fighting compartment is also meticulously recreated. Of course, the star of the show is the 8.8cm gun. Not only the sharp long barrel, but also the gun carriage, gun base, and operating handle are all meticulously detailed. The mantlet's shape is also faithfully reproduced. This kit is a must-have for German vehicle fans, as it allows for careful attention to detail and can be combined with figures to create a realistic scene. Markings are included for vehicles belonging to the 525th Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion and the 560th Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion.
