Great job! I have the same kit almost finished, but still need the aftermarket tracks.

Thanks, guys!. Greg--yeah, the aftermarket tracks are unfortunately necessary for this kit, given how the kit tracks are not accurate and, being the rubber band type, don't replicate the sag well.

Errors or not, that thing looks great!👍
I like the design of this tank (I remember the Sheridan from my quartet card game with tanks in the 1970s 🙂 ) and the proportion between the turret and the huge barrel is a special eye catcher.

Looks great, the tracks are just icing on the cake. Shading is perfect. 👍👍👍

Thanks, guys! I like the looks of the Sheridan, too. It has a futuristic look about it, especially the turret.

Album info

This is the Academy M551 with Friul tracks and some stowage from Legend and Tamiya. I did not try to correct the kit's many, many errors. I used it primarily as a test bed for new weathering techniques and products.
