Military Illustrated Modeller – August 2019

(Ann) #1
AFV Edition 

CONCLUSION
I am a bit biased to be honest, I've always thought
the Sheridan was a cool looking vehicle, especially
in its Vietnam guise. So I was really pleased
Tamiya decided to revisit the M551 with a whole
new kit. Overall, it's really nicely detailed and
is beautifully engineered and goes together very
easily. My only complaints would be that they
should have included polycaps for the road-wheels
and maybe the option of the larger turret basket, so
often seen on Sheridans in ‘Nam’. U
