Tamiya 1/35 M551 Sheridan - Vietnam War modelling subject

The Tamiya 1/35 model of the U.S. Light Tank M551 Sheridan offers scale modellers a chance to tackle a compact but characterful armoured vehicle. Its reputation for airborne mobility and light armour makes the Sheridan an interesting build for hobbyists focused on military subjects.

Design highlights and modeller appeal

The M551 combined mobility with firepower in a small package, and this kit captures the key external features. Parts replicate the turret form and hull geometry, allowing for a faithful representation whether you keep it stock or add extra detailing.

Tips for assembly and display

Expect clean sprue layout and parts that slot together with good alignment. Weathering techniques such as filters and drybrushing lift surface detail, while a small base with scatter and foliage suits a service-life display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Polystyrene

The kit typically includes basic decal sheets for unit markings. For more specific markings, aftermarket decal sets or printed references can help replicate a particular vehicle.
Intermediate paint skills are useful to achieve convincing finishes. An airbrush gives smooth base coats, while hand-brushing works for smaller details and touch-ups.
Yes. The model scale matches many other 1/35 kits, making it straightforward to build combined scenes with figures, terrain and support vehicles.
Pay attention to aligning the turret and cleaning mould lines on small fittings. Test-fit major assemblies before cementing to avoid position errors.
