A few days ago, I ran a story on Dragon Models' release schedule for October 2006. Amongst these new releases, I mentioned (briefly) the Nashorn. Now we're able to present in some depth, details and images of a long-awaited kit....
DRA 6314 - Sd.Kfz.164 Nashorn ~ (Premium Edition) 1/35th scale
Is DML's latest in their Premium Edition series. This recent initiative (for those who have been living on top of a mountain) has basically meant that older kits, have been updated to modern standard with re-moulding, additional PE and such extras as Aluminium barrels and new tracks. In this case, the Nashorn is a vehicle which requires a modern 'treatment' due to the amount of interior detail in the open-topped fighting compartment.
The updates are, according to DML's website are as follows:
Tracks:
- Newly tooled Magic Tracks
Fighting Compartment:
- New fighting compartment gun mounts w/ photo-etched detail
- New clear parts and photo-etched brackets for fighting compartment periscopes
- Camouflage loops with updated weld detail
- Photo-etched scissors periscope brackets
- Photo-etched ammo case details and covers
- Photo-etched front fighting compartment rack parts
- Photo-etched Radio Rack parts
Gun:
- Updated muzzle brake
- Bonus metal barrel
Upper/Lower Hull:
- Photo-etched side exhaust grills in detail
- Glacis w/ improved weld lines
- Newly designed travel lock with photo-etched parts
- Photo-etched jack bracket
- New slide-molded exhaust NEW
- Photo-etched rear brackets
- Updated road wheels and return rollers w/ enhanced detail
Other Features:
- New Cartograf decal with markings for eight vehicles in a variety of schemes
More (and bigger) images can be seen at the side....
