These Tiger kits were reissued by AMT in the 90's as a blueprinter
special, which was only available to subscribers of AMT's model club.
The model pictured in the URL is one of these re-issues. Originals are
also available and come in stock and 2 in 1 kits (from memory) with
several variations in artwork. The originals can be cheaper depending on
condition, but the re-issues are far easier to find.
The best place to get these kits is either via E-bay (www.ebay.com) or a
Hobby mail order place like Hobby Heaven (look in Scale Auto Enthusiast
Magazine for contact details). There was also a Alpine model kit made
but I can't remember the specifics.
