Hi all,
just a quick question
Have Academy replaced the inaccurate suspension on the M3 with the correct ones from the M7 Priest?
If so I'll get one, if not I won't
Regards
Lee

Lee, have a look at this review of the Grant,
http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/vehicles/academy/acd13212.html
Apparently all new issues of the Grant will have the correct suspension included. I did hear that Academy have the replacement set of bogies available on request.
Not sure where you'd request them though!

If you have the initial release kits then you get the replacement sprues from the UK Importer - TOYWAY
The sprue is relevant for both M3 Grant & Lee kits from Academy
Just call the Toyway Sales Office (01462 672509).
They're quick to respond, I've got mine.
NB:
The corrective sprue will ONLY correct the M3 Suspension Units and NOT the M4 which also comes in the kit (not used with M3 Grant/M3 Lee kits). The difference however, is very noticable.
