I'm jealous!

Don't like much about German WW II AFV's - but I do like German WW II SPG's! Wespe, Hummel, and Nashorn are cool vehicles...

Have you looked for an Eduard PE Set?

Gunnie - wonder if Jim will replace this emoticon with a Turkey for Thanksgiving Day, sort of an emoticon for all seasons...

The Nashorn is DML's first armor kit, it's good price you got. The thing is that it needs a lot work to make it look good. The compartment is way too empty, and there are a number of inaccuracy involved...SO you need to get that Eduard PE Kit, Modlekasten also has a set to make it good... HTH

Commander Series Models does an update set for that kit.

Good stuff Adam, SO what's included in the kit, I had tried to call the guy, but no one is there, really want to order one. I love Nashorn.

This is an aside related to Commanders models figures.
I met the guy who sculpted the Rogers Ranger and the German Medic figures. He was at a reenactment with some 1/8 scale figures he was sculpting on commission. The figures are fantastic, and my guess is that those Commanders Models figures are something. They were selling like hotcakes at the Rochester show.

Sorry, I can't comment on AM stuff for the Nashorn.
I would imagine a Tamiya PzIV vehicle equipment set would improve on the tools provided!

Sorry Dave. I don't know what's in this kit. I just knew that it existed. I have a couple other CSM kits and they are very nice so I figured that this one would be pretty good too. It looks like, from the pictures that it really fills out the fighting compartment though. Keep trying to get ahold of him, eventually you will.
