The instructions say 1.5 hours to build it… I’m skeptical. I’m not sure what the plastic is actually. I do want to paint it a single colour to give it a more finished look. The “real” ones appear to be almost the same colour as the plastic, a pale yellow. It’s something completely different! I think it’s been in my stash for about 10 years. A pressie from my brother in law. Merry Christmas everyone!- 14 replies

I am very, very, excited to have received my Nashorn, courtesy of Yuki Hirota, Japan. Oh and Amazon. In fact I'm so excited that I just have to post pic of the box in the WIP section, when I have no intention of starting the build for a while. But then, maybe I won't be able to resist. Of course, I've had a peek inside and everything is in order. I was surprised to read on the box that the gun uses metal parts for authentic movement, and then disappointed to find that this consisted of a length of wire cable used for disengaging the gun's travel lock and two metal rods for the gun's hydraulic damping system.. I expect Eduard Photo-etch floor panels and ammo boxes to arrive in the next day or two, which amounts to the minimum 'upgrade'. The full photo-etch kit is a penny short of 50 quid, nearly 50 percent more costly than the Nashorn itself! Anyway, this beauty will end up in a winter woodland scene, either in Russia, or in the Ardennes. I have yet to research the theatres in which the Nashorn was deployed. [/url] I won't post on this topic again until I start the work, so if you check the 'last poster' and it ISN'T me, then you can save yourself some time and not bother to view. Rearguards, Badder Update.... PE arrived. Kit instructions suggest that Nashorns were deployed in Italy and on the Eastern front, the surviving few banded together to form one battalion during the final months of the war, but where they were deployed then, it does not say.
