The kit is probably the worst Esci 1/72 vehicle. Even for a Hummel it is bad (does not have the lengthened chassis so the top is all squished up to fit). The gun is molded in partial recoil, so some serious cutting and scratchbuilding is needed for the 150mm gun. You can't easily make a Nashorn from it, as the kit is a later type Hummel with the full width driver's cab, not used on the Nashorn at all. You could carve a Nashorn from a block of wood that would look better than what Esci gives you.
