I think this topic has been covered before, but I wasn’t paying attention.
Does anyone make an AM asymmetrical turret for the 1/35 mid-production Academy Tiger I? Also, how about AM to correct this kit’s interior imperfections? Is such a thing available or is scratch building the only option?

for the price of the after market turret you cauld buy the Dragon or AFV club tiger, both have the correct turrets
there both late tigers but you cauld back date the Dragon with your mid tiger parts
Will the Academy interior parts fit in the Dragon and AFV kits? By the way, I have an AM engine, but am also looking for other AM for upgrading the interior.
I have a question to add,
I dont see how the turret is asymmetrical, can anyone show me the asymmetrical points on the turret. I just dont see them!?!?!?!
The asymmetry is not readily apparent in 1/35, or even in photos, but on the full size vehicle, the right side of the Tiger I turret curves out about four inches wider than the left side. Have to get out my books and look it up for the exact figure. I believe this bulge was intended to provide more working room for the gunner.

Eduard do a PE set for the interior of Academy kits
you cauld always try to fit the parts into the Dragon kit, its been suggested in a Tankpower book on the Tiger, that it can be don on the Tamiya kits
Many thanks for the input, guys! Now all I have to do is decide which kit to buy.
