Heres my 2nd entry. This is Dragons "Premium" Nashorn. A few details were added to the kit. I used TMDs Fug 5 radio, along with a few small additions, gas mask canister, rolled stored canvas covers, brass amm from the spares box (yes, I was able to fit two side by side with the kit p/e parts. I also replaced all the tarp tie down loops with copper wire, and added the foliage wire to the sides. I also replaced the gunners seat springs with coiled wire.

Hey, thanks Ron, The two parts that I really found difficult, or tricky were the p/e etch intakes on the side. Those took a bit of prefitting and planning before actually glueing. The whole assembly kid of interlocks with each other and its hard to find the "right" steps to assemble it in. The other was the ammo rack. Some very small fidly parts. In order to fit the correct amount of shells in 1 bin, I had to use all the parts Dragon supplies for both bins. Just placed two side by side instead of one as Dragon suggests. The only drawback is one bin has to be closed. Other than that, everything else was pretty straight forward, but a better improvement than the original issue of the Nashorn. Though, if ever I build another I'll surely go for the Lionroar or Voyager p/e sets.
