Posted by johnfromiwo on Tuesday, December 3, 2019 3:39 PM

I would like to know if the asuka or afv club suspention set's would work on academy model m4a2 shermans.Reason is that im not a big fan of the academy road wheels and Drive sprokets and want to replace them.

They should.  The Sherman has a wonderfully simple bogie attachment method.  You might just need to trim off locator pins should they not match the hull.  HTH

That’s pretty much what I was thinking for the bogies. There may be some minor surgery needed. But the idler and sprocket wheels are a different matter, mainly due to axle diameters. They may fit the replacement set, or they may not. You just might need to use the kit parts there.

I have used the AFV Club suspension on an MP Models M4A4 hull and encountered that issue. That hull was tooled for working with Tamiya or Italeri parts, as the AFV or Tasca/Asuka parts did not exist at that time.
