About the M551 Sheridan

The lightweight M551 Sheridan was designed as an airliftable tank, a cutting-edge design with aluminium 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 armour 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.

This model kit recreates the M551 Sheridan Armored Reconnaissance/Airborne Assault Vehicle AR/AAV. The M551 was designed as airdrop capable armor with wading capabilities a key concept as the U. S. took on the role of global policeman post WWII. With an aluminum hull and rolled steel turret it weighed just 15 tons but had impressive firepower in the shape of the M81 152mm gun/launcher which could fire standard rounds and MGM-51 Shillelagh missiles.
