Thanks for the response, Roy, however is it one B spacer for two foams or one B spacer per foam piece making it two B spacers per bogie?

The B spacers are meant to replace the 2 foam pieces .  The spacers allow the modeler to make the bogie fixed rather than moveable.  For their other VVS bogies, Tasca/Asuka are now offering this fixed position option as well.

Tasca Sherman Bogie Build for Kit 35-025
Posted by cvsusn on Tuesday, April 8, 2014 9:32 AM

Tasca's kit 35-025 is a mod of their kit 35-014, an M4A1 DV model from the African campaign.  The instructions are for the 35-014 kit with an addendum for the 35-025 kit.

In building the bogies, the original calls for cutting two 4mm x 10mm rubber pieces to insert as springs.  The addendum modifies the instructions which are unclear.  To make the bogies the proper height it recommends using plastic "B Spacers".  If taken as written, the modeler replaces one of the rubber spacers and replaces with a B spacer.  Does that really solve the height challenge or should it be one B spacer replacing both rubber pieces?

Thanks for any suggestions.
