Which turret do you like? Try looking around at other dealers till you find one you like.

That's a Porsche turret, I agree I don't care for that style either. The KT I bought had that turret and I bought a Henchel turret and swapped them. Then I painted it myself and I love it.

Then there you go! Buy the Porsche turret King Tiger, order a Henchel turret from Forgebear (if I remember correctly it's under $40 but please don't quote me) then have at it with an airbrush!

When you remove the Porsche there is a ring on the upper deck, this ring is removable and will need to be popped off so the Henchel turret can fit.

Yes. But I think the cost is the issue.
