The Tamiya 1/35 U.S. Airborne M551 Sheridan Vietnam War (35365) reproduces the M551 Sheridan in its Vietnam War airborne light tank configuration — the vehicle that was paradropped into combat zones from C-130 aircraft as part of the 82nd Airborne Division's deployment to Hamburger Hill and other operations. The Sheridan's unusual 152mm gun/missile launcher, aluminium hull, and agility in jungle terrain made it a distinctive and unusual AFV in American service.
Tamiya's 1/35 kit captures the Sheridan in Vietnam jungle green with US Army airborne markings — an important and less commonly modelled Vietnam-era subject.
Kit highlights:
Accurate M551 Sheridan in Vietnam War configuration
152mm gun/missile launcher faithfully reproduced
Aluminium hull and distinctive Sheridan silhouette
82nd Airborne Division and Vietnam marking options
A unique and important Vietnam-era US armour subject
Please note: Cement and paints required, sold separately.
