The whole bogie fracus leaves me cold. I stood next to a real Sherman last year and though not of the early bogie style I tried real hard to figure if I could tell the return roller would be 3 inches higer (or lower) if it had the Academy Lee suspension and I couldn't. So for me it's a tempest in a teapot. Now Academy SHOULD have added the Priest sprue after they'd gone to all of the effort to correct the millimeter or two the original was off but I won't loose sleep over it.

I'll build my Lee, my Grant, my Stewart and yes even my SECOND Sheridan and be happy with the result. Afterall it's not like DML has been setting the modeling world afire with corrected versions of these Allied and modern vehicles
