Re: Hooben M4A3E8
Oh, even going the Taigen rout is a tad more pricey.
If you're not bothered by having a VVSS, that would be a cheaper way to get close to what you want, they did fit a few E8 turrets on Shermans with VVSS, although they're not technically E8's.

I was thinking of getting that DKLM T23 turret, is it any good?Ad Lav wrote:A turret from nick will set you back 100 or so bucks.

Re: Hooben M4A3E8
It has recoil and elevation fitted but the turret itself is not accurate. The mantlet is copied from the Mato plastic one.
The Taigen metal one is a good shout.

Re: Hooben M4A3E8
Good morning,
SOAG is on the right track ( pardon the unintentional pun ) Save another 150.00 US or so and go to EBay. The Tamiya Sherman kits pop up all the time and if you find one completed, they sometimes sell for much cheaper than the kits and the left over will get you a Taigen turret to mount onto the Tamiya Lower. Whichever route you go, have fun with it.
regards,
Painless
