That's the only thing I need for my T-34/76 project. I've seen that the other hex turret (laminated) has some ribbing on the turret undersides, in the turret ring area, is it the same with the stamped turret? And finally the most important thing: The interior... I'm wondering if the internal layout is the same for this turret, comparing it to other hex turrets, if yes, please tell me. If there are pics, the better. I want to make it a bit simple, so other kit pics will work for me, because actual pics are a little messy. Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards.

Hello again Jose,
Based on photos, no. Those little "ribs" do not appear on the cast turret ring section of the Uralmash turrets. It should be smooth just as Tamiya has made it.

I have not yet seen any photographs of the interior of these turrets but I would assume that they were much the same as any other hex turret. Certainly the main gun, vision blocks, intercom equipment, seats, and turret ring details would be the same.
The only area where there could be a difference it seems to me would be in the rear storage of spare magazines for the co-ax machinegun, but how it may be different if indeed they were I couldn't even guess.
