Sherman Jumbo Turret

Post by KV1Fan »

Hi all-

Does anyone know if there are any resin Sherman Jumbo turrets? I think a gentleman by the name of Nick Aguilar used to make them. I think I can scratch build one if I have to, but with all the subtle curves, it may be tricky.

Thanks,

Matt

Nick still makes them to the best of my knowledge, I bought a couple of his early 75mm turrets fairly recently so I think he's still in the game even if he's not actively building tanks any more :thumbup:

If you do a search for Nick's name on this forum you should be able to find a thread with his email address. I used his jumbo parts for mine and it is a great kit.

And shipping will be cheaper for you in the states, and you won't get stung with import duties like us Brits :thumbup:

I was going to used the mato turret when I do one and just change the barrel and maybe make the mantlet a little better, but yeah Ludwig does the kit. Which I believe has the turret with metal bits and the armour plates for the hull, again with metal bits

Could one of our experienced forum members use their 3D wizardry and print one? Or possibly a kit?

Picked this Jumbo up used alittle while ago part of a group buy. Already have a Easy8 upper hull and turret coming to me and will not be using these. Its in a bit of rough shape and needs more TLC that I'm able to provide. I'm not sure who was the manufacturer though. ImageImageImage
