John Van KootenHi Daniel,
Indeed, as Urban said, ultimately the choice is yours. But I feel I must warn you that the WoT kits suffer from quite a bit of problems, not in the least the molding quality. I wrote about it a while ago here:
scalemates.com/whatsnew.php?topic=1299369
In the mean time I have been able to personally verify that more of those WoT kits follow the same pattern that I mentioned in the post in that link. Italeri really isn't targeting the more serious modeler with those kits.
So yeah... I really like some of those older Italeri kits, and I have bought a couple, like the #6502 M24 Chaffee and the #240 Chevrolet Gun Tractor (D-Day Edition). But the WoT kits specifically, I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole 😉

herbert otto gillei just finished the W.O.T. tiger 1 overall a cheap kit with some issues .... it comes in 2 sorts early / late i preferred the late ( have some spare parts from dragon late tigers ) so i can correct some flaws , the decals are indeed from W.O.T but i have dozens of spare decals so i built her in the SCHW PZ abt 505 the kit in itself is no match to dragon or even tamiya ,but ok ill just have to do it with her 😉 the parts do fit quite good , just here and there some minor adjustments , little bit of flash but ok , ive had better tiger 1 and worse so i give her a 70 out of 100
