M551 Sheridan — Gulf War Configuration (Scalable 1/144 To 1/32, Intermediate Kit)

Highly detailed model of the M551 Sheridan as it appeared during Operation Desert Storm. After being withdrawn from active US service, several Sheridan brigades were reactivated and deployed to the Gulf, where their speed and mobility were put to the test in the desert environment. This model captures the combat-upgraded appearance of the Sheridan, featuring additional armor, extensive stowage, and the iconic 152mm gun, now used exclusively for conventional ammunition.

An essential addition for any US military collection, Gulf War diorama, or modern armored vehicle showcase. The Sheridan's battlefield presence in the Gulf was a unique chapter in its long service history.
