sPzJg Abt. 88, Nashorn CREW - July 1944, Ukraine-

Nashorn SECOND- First Images and crews
“Büffel” Nashorn and Crew
sPzJagAbt 519
3rd Panzer Army
Army Group Center, Russian Front
April/May 1944

These are, let’s call them, my SECOND, First Images of the Bill’s Nashorn that I bought in September.Had already posted some of the images,
with the Nashorn as finished by Bill, with a new crew mixed with a crew I made for Niall.Here is the same Nashorn after some tweaking on my work bench.
I added shadows, similar to how I paint my vehicles, dry-brushed the edges and dusted the whole vehicle. The dry brushing brings out all the details Bill put into this vehicle.
Also repainted under the fender, using my usual mud and dirt colors. Also repainted the rubber area of the wheels.
Added shading to the wheels and drybrushing to the running gear also. Added a little silver highlights to the tracks. Also added some equipment to the interior(zelts, water bottles, map cases etc).

Here the Nashorn with my Albert Ernst colder weather crew:

Niall's Nashorn Crew, Heavy PzJager Abt.88, 1944

Niall’s Nashorn Crew
Platoon Commander Vehicle
Heavy PanzerJager Abt 88
Heersgruppe Nordukraine
Brody, Ukraine
May 1944

Left to right: Loader(Obergefreiter), Gunner(Unterofizzier), Commander(Leutnant), Radio Operator(Gefreiter) and Driver(Unterfeldwebel).
Since some of the figures do not show rank distinctions, the ranks could easily be varied.

The Heavy PanzerJager Abt 88 was formed in September 1943 from Pz.Jg Abt 88 and
was equiped with Nashorns from December 1943 and fought with Army group Centre on the Eastern front until the end of the war.
In February and March 1944 the s.H.Pz.Jg.Abt. 88 was sent to the Eastern Front under the 1.Pz.Armee (H.Gr.Nord-Ukraine), where it supported units of the III. Pz.Korps during the battle of Kamenez-Podolzk.
During March and April 1944, the s.H.Pz.Jg.Abt. 88 supported the 6.Pz.Div. and 17. Pz.Div. In May 1944, the Nashorns of the s.H.Pz.Jg.Abt. 88 were the first to destroy a JS-2, which the s.Pz.Abt. 506 towed away. On 15th July the s.H.Pz.Jg.Abt. 88 was with the XXXXVIII. Pz.Korps near Brody, where it stayed with H.Gr. Ukraine (later H.Gr.A) until the end of 1944.

I could not resist German Billy’s Nashorn.
Only using it as a background piece right now as I have had no time to do some repairs to the rear of the gun and the fighting compartment.

I put together a new Ernst crew for the Nashorn and since I still had Niall’s crew, which is also colder weather types, decided to pose them together with the Nashorn.
You will notice that my new Ernst crew uses the same HS as the “regular”crew which was posted by me before sending Bill the crew and later posted by him with the Nashorn. All the same except the loader.
This is an earlier time frame and the loader was a different soldier.

Left to right: Ernst’s Radio Operator, Niall’s Radio Operator, Ernst’s Gunner, Niall’s Gunner, Ernst’s Loader, Niall’s Commander, Commander Ernst, Niall’s Driver, Niall’s Loader and Ernst’s Driver.
