Another re-release from Italeri, this time the big gun mounted on a tiger.

I'd go for one of these!

Is this the only offering for the interior on the Sturm?

Nice to see this one available again! Any idea if it'll have the PE from the Tiger re-pop? (That gave the mesh screens for the engine deck...)

Tom I do not believe photo etch is included which is a shame as it would have increased the popularity of this kit for a very small outlay by Italeri.

Hi Darren! That's a shame, although the basic kit is still good fun, if found at a decent price. (I got mine in the Revell box, but it's the same moulds...) And it even has Zimmerit!

The Tamiya kit also includes a partial interior, similar to the Italeri, while AFV Club is offering a separate resin interior for their kit.
