Seek Sikh heads...

I'm looking to convert a 1/35th WWII British figure to a Sikh of the same period. The only source for a replacement head that I know is the old Airfix Bengal Lancer - which is proving difficult to locate. Does anyone know of a good source for this kit or for a Sikh head?

Cheers,

Dana

Sikhing heads

Hmmm. Chota Sahib heads might do. But the Sikh turban is pointier than those of the Raj period, and don't seem to have puggaree or tail. Since Sikhs generally wore standard-issue British battledress, this would seem to be an ideal opportunity for Hornet to crank some out. I think you're stuck with carving putty...
