It's good to see the Bronco try to fix their turret's problem and hope them can also correct the other problem about chassis ,the manhole's raised too much.

It's grand they have fixed the turret issue, hats off to Brnco, not many manufacturers would bother.
This observation though seems like nit picking in the extreme, good infomration to know, but I doubt if anyone will be that concerned about the depth of a hatch underneath the chassis and it would seem like a simple home fix for those who might want to make it.
I haven't bought a kit yet that was perfect and I doubt I ever will. I don't understand why every kit has to get pulled apart? Identify any problems and use your skill to fix them if it concerns you, otherwise build and enjoy is my thinking.

. To fix it would require cutting out the sloped front plate along the weld bead and adding a 1 1/2 mm strip in front of that bead and re-attaching the slope plate. That sloped plate will now have to be at a steeper angle (will that be correct?), and the top edge of the affected side plates will also have to be filled or corrected. I don't know if possibly hacking up an otherwise nice model is worth the trouble. An atlernative is to substitute the older Italeri turret, as someone previously stated Italeri got the bend line in the right place, but they forgot the weld seam (no big deal there!). As for myself, I think I'll just remove the incorrect weld bead from the ventilator to the right side.
