Firstly, let me speak on behalf of many Editors out there who have been requesting that DML start showing ACTUAL (rather than CAD) Images of their new releases. In this report, there are REAL images of the model which, from where i''m sitting, gets the adrenaline flowing a bit more than the usual images - thanks guys! Images and details of 6386 - Sd.Kfz. 164 Nashorn (3 in 1) ~ Smart Kit, can be seen:

If you have comments or questions please post them here.
Thanks!

Nice, really nice. Indeed, actual kit pictures are way better than CAD images. Thanks for pushing for this. I need to get me one of these.....

Looks nice, but I'm wondering is it really going to be such a vast improvement over their "Premium" Nashorn (6314)?

I wonder if it Is just another redo of their earlier Nashorns??? Boy I remember their first one, what a mess, so many corrections to do.

Judging by the pics and info on DML's website, this one's an all-new tooling Smart Kit and doesn't have anything in common with the much older releases that were very inaccurate.
It's an "early" Nashorn in terms of the features for the most part due to the exhaust type but has the later style gun travel clamp on the front so isn't the same offering as their Premium kit of a couple years back. Ought to be an interesting kit when it comes out.

bump for update: the price of this kit is ~50$USD. a pricey kit, but looks like it worth it

Man, I wish I could get my paws on this but just spent some $$ on other stuff. May get this one in a couple of months. Looks great!
