Can anyone direct me to a source that has the Blast Models T-72M1 turret kit in stock? Every online dealer I can think to check doesn't have it in stock. I did try Blast Models' site directly, but couldn't tell if their site was current or not: they showed it going for around $ 49 bucks U.S., and I thought this was like a $100 kit?
Any leads anyone can give me would be appreciated.

You can trust their on-line shop. Buy with confidence.....
Stateside theres a couple of places, but you'll find it cheaper through their site. Mission Models, Greatmodels, R & J are some I know that carry the line. GreatModels prices are a bit ridiculous on the Blast stuff......
The T72 turret is a VERY nice one

IIRC the Blast T-72 turret is OOP, which is why I think sites list it out of stock. You might try an email to them to see if it still available or try the sale forums/ebay. It is definitely worth the effort.

It is not out of production! I just checked with Blast and they have it in stock.
The item is on the Blast website do a search for T72 and you'll find it!

I highly recommend them for mail order (I'm in France now but used them when I was in UK and Australia and they were very fast, with superior packaging to boot).
Cheers,
Christophe
