Does anyone make a really nice turned 88mm barrel for Dragon's Mid/Late Tiger l (1/72)?

Both RB and Aber offer barrels in 1/72.

Would you happen to have a favorite mail order/on-line store in Canada or US to order from? All the places I regularly order from seem to ignore 1/72.

Actually, no, I don't. I normally do most of my barrel shopping on Ebay (if I don't use my LHS). I usually stick with 3 guys in Poland who done me quite well over the past couple years. They're not necessarily the least expensive, but they've been very reliable (usual delivery in 7 to 10 days).

If I'm ordering in something where delivery time isn't an issue, I'll go with one of the Chinese guys. They generally have the least expensive prices, but you've got to be ready for a 3 week, or better, wait.

Isn't there anyone in North America who specializes, or at least stocks, 1/72 armor accessories?

Hmmm....no one ever tried Airconnection near Toronto, Ont.? They carry all Aber as well as other East European brands.

Michigan Toy Soldier usually carries the Aber barrels which is where I ordered mine from.

I was thinking of adding the 1/72 RB to my line but the market seems very small, am I correct?

The market isn't small. It's based more upon demand. 1/35 has a greater demand than 1/72 for after market barrels.

..... excuse me, John. I just found the play on words in this line humorous.
