Sherman turret low bustle angle.

[Son of a gun-ner]

Does anyone know this angle?

Also any dimensions, as in, how far up from the bottom of the bustle does the angle start?

Any help will be greatly received.

Many thanks.

Hi you just need a scale drawing any scale dosnt matter angles are all the same(scale never changes angles) ,then work it out till it looks right.

Thanks Pete sounds like a plan, looks like the only one I could find when I searched, could only find drawings with no measurements, oh well, out with the ruler then

Thanks again.

Pete, I feel so dumb, armed with what you said, I looked in my Sherman book, and at the back, there's a print of a 1942 blue print with basic dimensions on it, although there are none for the bustle, I can easily scale the drawing for them LOL

Thanks again

Pick an appropriate Blueprint here, (the best are the detailed ones with lots of pixels). Depends, of course, on Model, year of production etc...
