Hey guys,

as our friend Pickelhaube is keeping the interest in collecting 1/18 armor and as he's doing a great work, rising in quality kit after kit, I was wondering if you could be interested by a T-23 turret with 76mm gun for our Sherman ?

it's a cool conversion and would be easy to install.

Here is some pics :

It could fit both Bravo Team and 21st Century Sherman.

Hey Pickel ! Do you think you could do that if there is some interest ?

Hey Phil,

I think this would be a good project to do if there was more interest.

Any more interest from you Shermy fans ?

Depending on how much it would cost, I would be interested in a t23 turret.

So that is 4 guys.

I would estimate a cost in the $60 range

Anymore guys interested in this as well ?

It looks like 5 guys on of the forum and 2 guys off of the forum who will want this Phil.

A total of 7 .

If I get a total of 10 I will make it.

If not I will move onto the T-34 after the M-3 and the dozer blade.

Est price on the T-23 turret $40- $60

I am letting the guys who have put down their deposits . The T-34 deposits.

Dictate what I am going to do first.

The T-34 tank or the T-23 Sherman turret.

T-23 turret will be easier and faster to do than a T-34. So T-23 then T-34
