I am scrachbuilding an interior on my T34/85. I have photos of the interior of a T34/76 but not the T34/85. The 76 turret was a two man turret, is the 85 also a two man or a three man turret. Any insignt or photos would be welcomed. I can't seem to find and of the inside of the 85 turret.

You may want to look out for a book called "The T-34 Tank", writen by Dr. Mathew Hughes & Dr. Chris Mann, part of a series called "Weapons of War" published by Spellmount (ISBN 1-86227-067-8). It has two or three photos inside the /85 turret, plus a cut-away drawing. BTW, the /85 had a 5 man crew.
