Tamiya Big Tank Series No.13 - 1/16 - M551 Sheridan - Display Model
Features
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.
This large-scale 1/16 static display tank recreates the unique M551 Sheridan. The actual Sheridan began development in 1959 and would go on to serve in major conflicts such as the Vietnam and Gulf Wars. 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.
FEATURES:
- 1/16 scale 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.
The rather unique form of the M551 is rendered in impressive 1/16 scale, with superb attention to detail.
The kit features an aluminum gun/launcher barrel, photo-etched searchlight parts, clear parts and more!
A soft photo-etched component allows bending and denting of the anti-RPG net to obtain a realistic look.
This image goes close in on photo-etched engine grilles and the various ammo cases attached to the turret.
A commander torso figure is included for placement at the machine gun, lending the model superb realism
