Description
Nashorn German Tank Destroyer
Here come two more photos of this fantastic Revell model, assembled in 1999. The small parts are fantastic, but difficult to cut from the runners, paint, and glue in place. Done properly, it makes a fantastic model. If it looks dirty, it IS! No, not battle dirt but rather dust. I feel the dust adds to the realism. What's your opinion?
I have a few more photos of this. Let me know if you wish to see them.
I'm repeating the vehicle data sheet in case you haven't seen my previous post.
ENJOY!

Awesome looking model!... I too use to build these models, a long time ago. now I have some that are die-cast and are heavy and full of dust!!

One slick model. Dirt/dust is always good...I've never painted a model to look muddy but have seen those who have and it adds a lot to the realism. I spent two years in a tank battalion in the desert and they really get dusty!!! Nice job on this Michael.
