Scale Representation of the M551 Sheridan Light Tank

The Tamiya 89541 faithfully represents the U.S. M551 Sheridan, first deployed in 1966 and notable for combining a light chassis with the M81 152mm gun-launcher. Its air-portable design allowed rapid deployment and saw action during the Vietnam War and later campaigns.

This 1/35 scale release is aimed at modellers who prefer static display work, featuring belt-type tracks and a crew torso figure to enhance visual realism. Although the original kit appeared as a motorised set in 1971, this issue is produced for detailed, non-powered presentation.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Static display model
  • Included Features: Belt-type tracks, tank crew torso figure

How long does assembly typically take for a detailed finish?

Assembly time varies with skill level, but expect several evenings to a weekend for careful construction, plus extra time for painting and weathering to achieve a display-quality finish.

Is the figure included suitable for posed display?

The included crew torso adds a human element to the model and is intended for static display; you can combine it with aftermarket full figures if you prefer a more dynamic scene.

What weathering tips work well on this kit?

Apply a light wash to panel lines, use chipping with a sponge or fine brush, and add dust or mud pigments on running gear to replicate operational wear without obscuring detail.
