Sir
I am a scale modeler from Russia and my current project is the Firefly high bustle turret used in Ijessellinie somewhere near Nijmegen .
I`ve got 3 pics of this turret here
http://freespace.virgin.net/shermanic.f ... photos.htm

But in order to get better results I need some more pictures (from the right side for instance).
May be You could help me and share with me some photos.
If needed You can see what I`ve done already.



This is not a commercial project and I am building the model for my own .
Sorry I can not spell Dutch.

Thanks
Aleksandr.

Thank you very much for your reply and help.
I`ve build the turret which near the road N337 to Deventer yet and I can say that it has some differences from the one I am asking about in my first post.
Generally speaking it is a unique turret because it was restored and has some newly made details.
Modeling it I tried to show all those "new" details and I could not rely on the pics of the same turret placed somewhere in the US,UK,Canada etc .So I had to dug the Internet to get the photos of this particular turret near the river.
Same as for the turret in Meinerswijk. But with one exception : when I`ve finished it some new photos became available and I found that I`ve made some mistakes ,such as the lacking of an oval hole on the roof hatch cover.
I`ve searched for a 1 and a half year material about the "Nijmegen " turret but with almost no results .
When I say "almost" I mean that the man who made the photos here http://freespace.virgin.net/shermanic.f ... photos.htm visited this forum some time ago and there was a chance that he could help me as you ,Mr.J.Schreuder did or some one else could.

Thanks
Aleksandr.

In oosterbeek are another two incased sherman. I suspect that in those in oosterbeek were equipt with .50's. I have some pictures of the one with turrret(the other one has the turret removed) but i need to have the film developed and then scan the pictures

This would be very interesting to see.
But as I am not very good in the Arnhem geography ,I have a question:
do any of the turrets\tanks you are talking about correspond in any way with so called the Kema terrein turret or not?

" As-Built" tank turret positions in Arnhem and Nijmegen (mostly demolished):

They are close to the kema terrein, which you mentioned. Your talking about the same bunker as i am.

--It would be very interesting to compare and make corrections for me.
And,by the way,can you please measure the hexagonal steel hatch located on the rear concrete portion of the bunker ?

I'll see i i can make a bike by and measure the hatch this week.

For my publication De IJssellinie 1950-1968 i had some tankkazemats rebuild at the scale of 1: 35.

In Olst I have one rebuild with a fake gun, this bij Joop Staman, Jeeparts.nl, in Nijverdal.

Nice museum ,St FBB ! Where can I see your 1:35 minibunkers?

Well , according to Panoramio in a past year a new road has appeared near the "Kema " turret :http://www.panoramio.com/photo/74486167?tag=Arnhem
But there are still no pics from the rear of the turret
Can someone there in Arnhem fix this problem for me please?
