Ok guys,
My questions is about the many turrets of the Mighty Sherman.
Which ones are they ?
Which one were mainly used on M4,M4A1 early and late,M4A2,M4A3, and any other hulls I dont think I left out.
Also legend has a T44 turret with a 76mm gun with the tread protector ( I think thats what its called).What Sherman hull would this go on and mainly have been used during WW2.
I know I ask alot but I have only these flimsy books opn the sherman and they dont go into depth about these specifics.
Many Thanx
AJ

Perhaps it would be easier to shoot you to some Sherman reference pages. Our friend TUGA has put together a quite extensive list of Sherman links: https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/6853&page=1
Here's a neat little page that explains many different Sherman variants better than I could in a forum post: http://search.eb.com/normandy/week3/sherman01.html Click on the little tank icons to get more info.

I missed this second question. This turret is very similar to the turret that comes in the Italeri M4A1. It can go on any late hulled Sherman (the large hatch hull).
