I was thinking of getting a HL sherman and putting a T23 turret on it, to make it into something like a jumbo.... so i was wondering if a T23 turret could be fitted to a Hl m4a3 and maybe keep the airsoft firing cannon?

For a guy with a considerable reputation, it seems, Nick Aguilar appears to be quite elusive or shy of publicity.There are a few references here (on the forum)..and there.. with a smattering lurking online in Google, but no actual online store or website I can discern :problem: , though I did find a link to a product here:

Do enlighten us a bit, please..

I've not used one myself but I know nicks turrets are designed to fit a Tamiya Sherman. Saying that, it wouldn't be impossible to covert it over the a HL turret ring or vise-versa, all depends on your modelling skill/patience...
..however keeping the BB function may be more hassle than it's worth...

Schumo at23 turret but it's €200. Everything fits inside like a glove though.

Bit too expensive for me, and i doubt that seller would ship to the US

The Schumo turret is for the Tamiya parts to fit, too... I think that in this case the Mato is a way to go. It's not expensive and HL air soft would fit good.
