Here are some in progress photos of the Academy M 551 Sheridan. Besides all that has been said about the accuracies of this kit. I found it so far to be a pleasure to build. I found not fit problems with any of the parts and the decals are really nice and thin. They settled down nicely. The only thing that I wish I could change is the rubber band tracks. They leave a lot to be desired. Other than that I really like this kit and would not mind building another one in the future. I have the commanders and drivers windows to paint along with the weapon and equipment and stowage.

Dave-----looking good (for a "b-b") .......how was the basket fit......... Rebelsoldier (Billy P) was doing 3---didnt like the basket -- mesh or summat???

The basket went together without a hitch. I can't say that I had any issues with any part of this kit. Everything went together easily. The instructions are very clear and easy to understand (at least to me anyway).

Looking good Dave. I don't care what the reviewers say, or that the hull is off 3 degrees this way or 4 degrees that way. It come sout looking like an M551 Sheridan if you ask me. Good job on it.





Fruil just recently released a set for it, but the tracks cost more than the original kit. Maybe someone will make a reasonably priced set of AM tracks for it.

lookin good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

had rob with final drives and idler wheels, didn't want to stat attached, maybe bad part, or my inexperience.
got a set of indie tracks from rob in norwich yesterday, and will update as i get it going.
the bustle rack is ok, just didn't like the solid support section, and thanks to barv will have a mesh all the way around.

thanks to all so far who have helped me on this project.
