Hi Templars

The best way I have found to get the MG43 gun is to buy Sprue B for the Tamiya King Tiger. The advantage of this is you also get a lot of other stuff into the bargain including a set of deck tools, a nice jack, fire extinguisher and other bits. One point though is that the MG and mount was as far as I am aware was not fitted to the early Tigers, only the mid and late versions. Both Tamiya and HL tigers are early variants so in theory should not have the gun on the cupola. Are you doing a conversion? I am nearly finished my one.
