Armed with the experimental M81 152mm gun-missile launcher, the M551 Sheridan was a bold attempt to merge traditional cannon firepower with cutting-edge missile technology.
It could launch both case-less conventional rounds and the MGM-51 Shillelagh missile-an advanced fire-and-forget weapon guided by infrared signals.
While the system promised a powerful punch for a light reconnaissance tank, it was plagued with reliability issues and operational quirks.
The Sheridan saw combat in Vietnam, Panama, and the Gulf War, earning a mixed reputation for its impressive firepower and poor survivability. Vulnerable to mines and RPGs, its light aluminium armour and volatile ammunition posed significant risks to crews in combat. Despite its flaws, the Sheridan offered unmatched versatility for its weight class and played a unique role in American armoured doctrine.
Compatible with all 1/35 scale Sheridan kits.
