Probably the best site around if you’re trying to figure out Sherman details.

Yes, very good indeed. Like the views inside the firefly turret.

The Chieftain has a video on the insides of the “C”-type Shermans on YouTube. Ah, here it is:

Pretty much any of his other videos on tanks are worth watching too if they’re your thing.

The only real way to tell a T41 from a T51 is that the rubber on the former is equally thick on both sides (when new) but on the T51 it’s thicker on one side (the outside) than on the other. If they’re worn they’re almost impossible to distinguish between — but then again, for modelling purposes that doesn’t really matter much.

That's rather useful Pete.

His may help, it is only a basic list.
