TAMIYA35365 1/35 US Airborne Tank M551 Sheridan Plastic Model Kit

This new (2020) Tamiya kit excelled in every way. Typically first-rate engineering, with three excellent figures, nice hull details and a rifled, one-piece gun barrel. Everything fit beautifully, including the individual tracks, which are so much worth the extra effort. Wasn't sure how well the plastic screen would work as the chain link fence shield but it crinkled up and looks great (not so much as engine vent screens so I didn't use it there.) It was great fun weathering this muddy, jungle conditions tank, and I enjoyed giving it added realism with some after-market stowage and sand bags.

I have built many Tamiya kits over the years. I have been model making on and off for over 50 yearsParticularly military dioramas WW2 Vietnam and Iraq. My unit had Sheridans. The tamiya kit is an excellent example of the Vietnam era AARV, not a tank. It is an easy kit to assemble and with your imagination, some scrap plastic,balsa wood you can create a very realistic scene. The kit also comes with 3 figures which is a real plus. There are no photo etched parts so no super glue needed. It is a very basic kit compared to many others on the market today, but a fun part of modeling is using your own imagination. I highly recommend this kit for modelers of all levels.

This is a fun model to build and not so expensive either. Great model to try different techniques of painting and weathering. Good quality plastic too.

This kit is another winner from Tamiya. Great fit with virtually zero flash. Love the included figures as well. One of my favorite builds to date.

A typical Tamiya 1/35 kit. Well engineered and accurate, great fit.This is far removed from the 1970 era Tamiya kit and the more recent Academy model with its' accuracy issues. I have not compared it to the new RFM kit which represents the Desert Storm version.

Went together very nicely. The one exception is the plastic netting provided was a bit of a pain (photo etch may have been a better option). All in all an enjoyable product to build and worth the money.

It has to many small parts and you have to put the track together, not easy.

Another first quality product from Tamiya. The kit includes three well done crew figures.

Amazon n'est pas en cause et je ne peux que féliciter l'ensemble des qualités montrées par ses gestionnaires et ses employés et tout particulièrement pour leur sérieux et leur rigueur. Il n'en va pas de même pour Tamiya dont le modèle acheté est vraiment pénible à monter. Pour son prix ont peut exiger mieux. On dirait que les concepteurs du modèle ont tout fait pour rendre le plus pénible possible le son montage. Où est le plaisir de monter ce modèle réduit ? Il était pourtant simple de le faciliter. J'ai des dizaines d'année d'expérience dans le maquettisme. Je suis maintenant devenu dégoûté de Tamiya et je ne pense même plus à acheter le moindre de leur modèle. Je pense que c'est le juste retour des choses.

Always great models from Tamiya.

Come sempre imballaggio e spedizione ottimi.Il kit è abbastanza dettagliato, nonostante gli stampi non siano recentissimi e piuttosto facile da assemblare (non è roba comunque da principianti).Unica pecca i cingoli in vinile.

Conforme à la description, du très bon Tamiya.

Producto excellente. Pero exige comprar un complemento (cañon y rejilla) por casi la mitad de lo que cuesta el modelo.
