The 24-ton Hornisse (German for "hornet"), later renamed by Hitler asthe Nashorn (German for "rhinoceros"), was developed as an interim tankdestroyer in 1942. It mounted an 8.8cm PaK 43/1 gun, and the Hornissehad its combat debut at the Battle of Kursk. A total of 494 of thesetank destroyers were produced, and they were used primarily on the Eastern Front or in Italy.

The key feature of this newest 1/72 Hornisse is the terrific Neo tracks,these track links offering the perfect balance between accuracy andassembly. They come with pre-assembled straight runs of tracks, forinstance, while they can also be realistically sagged. Other parts comeas individual links where appropriate to get them to conform to theshape of sprockets, etc. All details are accurately presented, includingthe highly detailed and visible 88mm long-barreled gun mounted insidethe open-topped fighting compartment. In the kit box there is also agenerous selection of photo-etched parts that allow modelers to upgradethe appearance of this powerful German tank destroyer. Thanks to theaddition of these Neo tracks, this little hornet can inject a tremendous amount of pleasure into a modeler’s collection!
