M551 Sheridan
£5.00Price
The M551 Sheridan was an American light airborne tank designed to be dropped from aircraft by parachute or extracted via low-altitude parachute extraction systems (LAPES). Developed during the Cold War in the 1960s, it was built to provide highly mobile reconnaissance troops and airborne infantry divisions with heavy, anti-tank firepower.
The Sheridan was rushed to the Vietnam War in 1969 to equip cavalry squadrons. While its speed and mobility in muddy rice paddies were highly praised, it suffered from severe mechanical and structural issues.
Standard in 15mm, scalable to 28mm
