The upgrade set Panzer Art RE35-503 Sandbags armor for M551 “Sheridan” in 1/35 scale is a great choice for modelers who want to significantly increase the realism of their builds. This product is aimed primarily at those building plastic models of the American light tank M551 Sheridan from the Vietnam War era and later conflicts. The main function of the set is to replicate the authentic sandbag armor that was often used by crews of this vehicle to increase protection against shaped charge projectiles and shrapnel.

• Manufacturer: renowned brand Panzer Art

The M551 Sheridan is an American light tank mainly used by the United States Army between 1969 and 1996, particularly known for its service in the Vietnam War, as well as the intervention in Panama (Operation "Just Cause") and the Gulf War (Desert Storm). In challenging combat conditions, soldiers often wrapped and covered their vehicles with sandbags to increase protection—this unique, non-standard look is exactly what the Panzer Art RE35-503 allows you to recreate.

This resin set will prove excellent for both advanced modelers and ambitious intermediate collectors who appreciate a highly realistic final effect. However, assembly requires some prior experience with resin parts (difficulty level 4/5). We definitely recommend this product to all fans of dioramas and historical-military modeling who wish to emphasize the unique character of their M551 Sheridan model.

Precise detailing, durable material, and dimensional accuracy guarantee complete satisfaction and a rewarding final effect. Panzer Art RE35-503 will make your model stand out at any exhibition!
