hey guys i am wondering if you can help me i am currently building the tamiya late version tiger 1 i am after a corrected asymetrical turret for the kit plus it needs to be a mid production style turret roof which will represent the 1944 interim turret used on the belfspanzer tiger 1 i know tiger model designs used to make a cast resin version of the turret but we are unable to get it here in australia help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys

Tiger Productions is the only aftermarket maker I know of. Dragon is now including the correct turret in their kits but that's a bit pricey for just a turret.

Yeah...it's a good site. I found him by accident. I bought two books by Verlinden from him face to face at the local annual Expo/Comp. three years ago. He's a weirdo. Wouldn't look me in the eye and speaks very softly. I used a credit card. Later it occurred to me that he might have a website because I saw a copy of an expensive book I wanted on his table. I checked his credit card receipt and lo and behold I was spending hundreds of dollars on his website. (I'd just inherited some $$ and was spending it freely). He's based near Sydney but I'm pretty sure he ships all over the world. I've seen the 'Firestom' name mentioned on other US based websites. He's good to deal with though and packs your stuff safely. I highly recommend him as somebody to deal with. He has his own range of WW1 Gallipoli Aussie figures too which I find interesting.
