A photo-etched detail set Sd.Kfz.164 Nashorn in 1:35 scale from the Czech manufacturer Eduard. It is not a model of the vehicle, but an accessory for a plastic kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
A set of photo-etched parts from the Czech manufacturer Eduard intended for detailing a plastic kit of the German Nashorn tank destroyer in 1:35 scale. It is not a kit of the vehicle, but an accessory for which you need the matching base model. Check the extent of the set, the number of parts and which particular sections of the vehicle it replaces on the box.
Photo-etched sheet makes it possible to produce parts that cannot be molded in injection plastic at a realistic thickness because of the technology. These are typically thin sheet metal sections, grilles, brackets and small fittings, where injection-molded plastic looks needlessly coarse compared with the real subject. The result is a crisper and more faithful model that stands up even to a close look or a photograph.
The Nashorn, with the official designation Sd.Kfz.164, was a German tank destroyer built on a common chassis derived from the Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks. It carried a long-barreled 88 mm antitank gun mounted in an open armored superstructure, which gave it exceptional penetrating power but minimal protection for the crew. It entered service in 1943, at first under the earlier name Hornisse. It was deployed with independent heavy tank destroyer battalions, where it came into its own mainly at long range.
Cut the parts out with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface rather than with nippers, so that the sheet does not ripple. Bend them in a photo-etch bender or between two razor blades and glue them with super glue; on larger areas the gel variant helps, as it gives you time to fine-tune the position. Degrease the metal before painting and go over it with a good primer, otherwise the paint holds poorly.
