Flyingfortress Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'm looking for a 1:35 scale M-551 Sheridan. I need the Vietnam version that has the cupola armor (M-551A1). Can buy or trade (I have lots of US WW2 armor and aircraft) Please drop me an email at seanptracy@comcast.net. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmanrick Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 The M551A1 version was not available in Vietnam. The VN version was the M551 and the M551A1 served in Panama & Desert Shield. Both of the Academy kits (M551 #13011 & M551A1 #13208) feature the ACAV shields you mentioned. Although iirc kit #13208 has an additional backpiece not present in the earlier kit. http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/vehicles/academy/acd13011.htm http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/vehicles/academy/acd13208.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think Rick's point is that both kits have the shield. So are you just looking for a kit that has the gun shield, in which case either will do, or are you looking for the Vietnam era version, or are you looking for the the later M551A1? Although both have the gun shield, there are other differences in the kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j-basset Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hi, I've got a couple boxes of the 1/35 Academy M551 (the Vietnam war version) to spare. The problem is that I'm not in the U.S., and shipping may be on the high side. PM me if still interested. Jason C. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
