Here is the Academy 1/35 scale M 551 Sheridan finished. This is a very nice kit and a lot of fun to build. This one is straight out of the box with only the electrical cable added to the search light.

Looking GOOD there, Animal

excellent build and an interesting vehicle

one thing i noticed (maybe the pics are to blame) is right side marking "27" looks a bit not straight?

cheers

Looks great Dave
Are those the markings that come with the kit or some of your own doing?

Your right, it is off a little. Too late to worry about it now. You have a keen eye. I could use them when I am building. LOL :-)

They come with the kit and lucky for me they are of a Unit of the 25th Div that I am building a Diorama of. This tanks is from the 1969/69 era assigned to the Hobo Woods/ Tay Ninh area. There are two other sets of decals that come with the kit also.

Good job on the M551. We had these in the 101st Abn since they were air dropable. Question--do the kit tracks have any detail on the inside?
