Tamiya 1/16 US Airborne M551 Sheridan Display Model

This gigantic scale model from Tamiya's 1/16 Scale Display model range assembles a true to life replica of the US Airborne M551 Sheridan Tank as saw service in vietnam and the Gulf War.
It was a lightweight, air liftable vehicle that contributed to the more mobile U.S. forces that were necessary as America took on a more major global security role in the post-WW2 years. This model uses components from the R/C model, for a highly detailed finish.

• 1/16 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 408mm, width: 177mm, height: 186mm (including gun shield).
• The powerful form of the Sheridan with 152mm gun/launcher is recreated in excellent detail.
• Features a precision aluminum gun barrel, plus other metal components including lower hull, drive sprockets, coil-sprung suspension arms and more.
• Pre-assembled plastic tracks offer wonderful detail, and have soft resin depictions of rubber pads.
• Soft photo-etched metal parts are included to recreate the anti-RPG net often seen as an impromptu addition to Sheridan’s deployed in Vietnam.

*Models supplied unassembled and unpainted, clipping tools and glue are required for assembly
