                        I finished up my 1/72 (1/76 depending on the boxing) Airfix M551 Sheridan Armored Reconnaissance/Airborne Assault Vehicle.I updated the basic kit which represents an M551 into an M551A1.

                        I replaced the gun tube with styrene tubing, added hull armor plates and panel lines, scribed detail into the hull and reworked and detailed the mantlet.

                        Nicely done, Rob..! I've got that kit and it's in my 'to do' list... The wheels are a bit poor, no? Did you change anything to them? What about the tracks, are those the Airfix ones? If so, you did great job with them!

                        Nice piece Major Rob.

                        It's truly amazing the detail you guys (& gals) who work in that scale can achieve.

                        Thanks for sharing.
                        Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

                        Very nice Sheridan, Rob. Ive built that Airfix kit myself, and I know you did a lot of work to make this one look good.
