Tamiya 1/35 M551 Sheridan - Vietnam War scale kit overview

The Tamiya 1/35 representation of the U.S. Light Tank M551 Sheridan offers scale enthusiasts a faithful subject from the Vietnam era. The Sheridan's combination of light weight and armoured capability is reflected in the kit's external detailing and parts layout.

Context and why modellers choose it

Built for air mobility and scouting duties, the M551 served in several theatres and is an attractive subject for scale builders. This kit reproduces the vehicle's basic shape and turret arrangement, giving modellers an accurate starting point for period finishes.

Practical building notes and presentation

Assembly is arranged to guide builders through the main sub-assemblies, and the precise moulding supports neat joins and crisp panel lines. The finished model suits both standalone display and integration into a larger wartime diorama.
