Product: 1:35 US M551 Sheridan (Vietnam)
Vietnam Campaigner
The lightweight M551 Sheridan was designed as an airliftable tank, a
cutting-edge design with aluminum alloy hull and powerful 152mm
gun/launcher. Work began on it in 1959, and it was officially adopted in
May 1966, with 1,600 produced by November 1970. Its first taste of live
action came in the Vietnam War, fulfilling both shelling and offensive
roles in a punishing environment, and it would also go on to serve in
the Gulf War conflict. Experience taught valuable lessons on the use of
the Sheridan, and led to reinforced armor to combat land mines, while
some were given a wire netting RPG screen for protection from anti-tank
rockets, and even the large gun shield from the M113 ACAV.
