Are these images the Italeri or Amusing Hobby kit. It looks rrslly good and I'm struggling to see what's different to Amusinh Hobby kit.

@Anth This was the Italeri Kit. Italeri has a very old mold back from the days before Thomas Jentz wrote his booklet. The Turret, Tracks and most of the engine deck is wrong with Italeri. Amusing Hobby has the better Turret (aysmetrical) but they made the mold before "Der andere Tiger" by Micheal Fröhlich came out <- best book for the VK45 series. Out of the back of my head Amusing Hobby has a way better turret, better tracks - still not the right ones and a more realistic engine deck - but still they are a bit behind compared to the latest information available to us modelers. If you want to fix either of these kits, send me a PM, I have the whole topic scheduled for 3dp fixes by the end of the year/early next year.

Album info

This old Italeri Kit is based on outdated Information and has some serious issues. I will replace it with the new one by Amusing Hobby...
