1:35 Dragon 6459 Sd.Kfz.164 Nashorn (4 in 1) Plastic Model kit

Armed with a powerful horn, thick skin and remarkable speed and mobility, the rhinoceros is a formidable opponent when you come across one on the plains of Africa.

The same could be said of the Nashorn (the German name for a rhinoceros) from Germany.

For Russians and Allied soldiers who encountered this 24-ton "beast" in the plains, fields and cities of Eastern and Western Europe in World War II, it was a formidable adversary. Armed with a powerful 8.8 cm PaK 43/1 gun of L / 71 caliber and with mobility provided by a Pz.Kpfw. IV hull and chassis could take out hostile armored vehicles with relative ease.
