Sheridan!!!!!!!!!

[sturmbird]

it appears that there is a new Sheridan in the works from an Asian company. I saw CAD images on another board, and what I saw looked good. I'm good for at least two!

Really? The Sheridan is a cool tank. Plenty of interesting options.

I've always fancied doin' an M551 and had my eye on the Academy ODS version but may wait now.....

Thanks for the post/heads up Gary

well there was a rumor that Dragon had one in the works a few years back, but this company is out of Hong Kong. I wonder if it's Meng. The Sheridan is special to me, as I actually worked in the area that built the main gun and transmission for a couple years. The Sheridan, like the M113 were some of the most customized pieces of equipment in the theater. The downside is the limited use of the Sheridan. It really didn't show up till early 1969 and then was pretty much locked down to CAV units.

forget I made the post, as Pawl was scammed. But the CAD images were his own, and were at one time being considered by a large modeling company.
