Hi Guys,

Would any one have a pic or diagram of the inside of the Sherman Turret (a Mk V is possible) but any would do, wiring layout, fittings etc. I'm especially interested in the RHS by the commanders cupola.

Cheers

I'll check my references, but am pretty sure I have a colour plate in one of the Osprey books. I will attempt to scan it & PM you. No promises as last time I had a real problem.

Hi Al, Have you checked Toadman's website? I'll have a look through my sherman photos and let you know if I have anything

Hi Pat,

Thanks. Had a look through Chris's site but didn't see any interiors.

Cheers

These might provide some help:




These are from a M4A1/Grizzly I that has been restored to U.S. standards. Since there were some minor stowage differences between U.S. and British Shermans, you'll really need additional pics of British Sherman interiors, especially for things like the radio. At this time, I can't help you there.
