M551 Sheridan – Model Kit 1/35 – Academy Hobby from Academy Hobby

Description

Originally the Sheridan came with a rather wimpy “luggage rack” on the back of the turret, but most units in Vietnam soon modified it to suit themselves. Probably the most useful full-fledged bustle rack design came from the 11th ACR, as all three squadrons had Sheridans and they wanted some measure of standardization. Later, when the 4/73rd Armor with the 82nd Airborne Division was the only US Army unit left with the M551 in service, they also created a design for a standardized turret bustle rack.

Models & Model Kits are supplied unpainted and unassembled unless otherwise noted.
