I'm buying it. Amazing. The casting of the radio is particularly impressive.
Shopping List
1) AFV Club Nashorn
2) Optivisor with extra magnification
3) New bulb for my Ott lite
4) Those little #11 blades with saw teeth
5) One bottle of extra patience
6) If #5 doesn't work one bottle of vodka.

I agree the radio is sharp I'll be molding it and the weld lines are nice to the bolt detail is the best I have seen on a afv.Bill

Remember kids... there's always room for vodka!

Why God Why do we need another Nashorn?
...on the other hand, I said the same thing when HB issued their Pershings, and was pleasantly surprised.
I guess it'll be the default kit when Dragon forgets where their Nashorn/Hornisse molds are. That's not so bad.

Hi
Am I missing something or did they not send you the sprues with the actual gun and its detail on ?

Alan,
Good catch. I remembered reading Terry's comments on PMMS that the gun was still forthcoming. I have forwarded this on to Bill Plunk so he can have an early look.
Thanks,
Jim

Ted Hayward has received the full kit from AFV Club and is working on a built review of the kit that includes the gun. Hopefully he will have that posted soon so the full kit can be evaluated. To avoid duplication, Ted's review has made any review I would have conducted redundant since he's got the complete kit to look at vs. the pieces-parts I received.
