Product Description

[About actual vehicle]
- In the Second World War, the German army developed and deployed numerous self-propelled guns.
- Among them, I used the III / IV car base developed as a self-propelled gun dedicated chassis, and it was made of a combination of 8.8 cm guns that showed power in the fight against the battle even in the North Africa front etc. There Sd. It is Kfz.164.
- Originally called as hornice which means wasp horn, then since January 1944 Hitler's order banned the name of insects, it was changed again to nurse horn meaning rhino again .
- Development began in 1942 and the first schedule was planned to be equipped with a diameter of 8.8 cm anti-tank gun PaK43, but the development was delayed, as a main gun of PaK 43/1, which was a remodeled anti-tank gun PaK 43/41 for in-vehicle use powered by. The chassis was extended and the engine mounted on the center of the car body was characterized by the chassis combining parts III and IV F type car bodies and parts.
- When the prototype car was completed in 1943, 494 were produced and deployed by March 1945. The power of the 8.8 cm gun was exactly the vehicle that I wanted to call the strongest antitank self-propelled gun.
