Tamiya 1/16 U.S. Airborne Tank M551 Sheridan (Display Model)

Description

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.
