The Rhino Heavy Tank is part of Brigade Models' South African Confederation range. link
The prolific javelin98 has previously posted his stats for this one: link
The challenge with this vehicle is that it has potentially four weapons: a main gun, a side gun, and two "lens" on the turret front. javelin98 called the main gun a mass-driver cannon, but I'm not sure the barrel is long enough to give it that look, and it looks like it has a bore evacuator (fume discharge) on it. He went with high-energy laser for the side gun, but I'm not sure a laser would have a long, thin barrel. So I went with high-velocity cannon on the main gun, autocannon on the side gun, and counted the dual "lens" as a targeting system. Equipment Item VSP : BVP Spaces Cost

Nice work, I have a whole load of these in my FWC force. The Brigade SAC stuff are nice models, and when I was in Jo'burg last year I stood beside one of the G6 artillery they (South Africa) built, clear lineage, and good grief, that's a huge mutha

I would go for a MDC, barrell looks long enough to me. Phil |

I would go for a MDC, barrell looks long enough to me. OK, I've confused myself again. According to the rulebook, what characterizes the MDC is its "small calibre" – and I would assume they mean relative to a "normal" tank gun (the HVC). Now, I don't think the main gun looks particularly thin compared to other MBTs, but it has enough weirdness to it (the rings at the base, the bulge nearer the middle) that it really could be anything you want it to be. The side gun could easily be a MDC, though
