I'm not a real WWII expert, so I don't know when the "bedspring" armor first made its appearance.
Kits 6066 and 6203 are very similar to one another. I believe one difference was in the fenders. However, for 1945 Berlin the 6066 would certainly be appropriate as it's the later model. The late tracks would be suitable for the time as well.
Earlier I mentioned I was only familiar with Maquette's hulls, but later I realized that I have used one of their turrets as well. It was at the time RPM, but is now sold by Maquette. It has the split ventilators as shown in your photo. I even mentioned it in a different thread not too long ago. Squadron have a few Maquette T-34/85's listed. I'm ordering one tomorrow for the hell of it.. The one with mine roller is actually cheaper than the one without. It'll be interesting to see whether or not it comes with the mesh for the transmission area as did their T34/122. I would imagine so.

im also looking at getting hold of T34/85 DML -6203, do you know the best place to buy as my local shop only stocks Tamiya n airfix.

yes,the T34/85 w/mineroller,has the mesh ,for the engine cover,but thiers is a soft nylon type material,if i have enough material,ill replace mine with brass,and the model comes with individual track links.

I lucked out and won this just the other day:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6037511982&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1
They pop up frpm time to time, and considering I don't need to waste time/gas on purchases, I love going to ebay.

Try here for Dragon 6203
