Does anyone know if the Tamiya Sherman bogies are the late type? The reason i ask is because if they are I will swap the ones from their M4 kit with the ones from the Academy M4A2 I'll then just add the missing detail to the Tamiya bogies

Chad, the Tamiya's M4 kit's bogies are the mid-production type. I'm assuming you're talking about the M4 (Early) kit.

As far as I know all the Tamiyas are late upswept type. That is why the Academy M12 was such a gem.

Once again, I'm going to hang myself out to dry. TheBear is correct!
This is what I, or you for that matter, get when I used haste and just glanced over at my kit!
Sorry Chad

I need more sleep!
