Sheridan m551a1 outside the box...

Started to mess with this some because I had a few ideas on it... It came with a reciprocating gun that was complete which surprised me.

Thought a shame to hide that.

Also came with seats for the hull. And a driver's station area to be seen through the hatch.

So I am deciding partly because the way the top panels go on turret that I will hinge them so that they can be opened up on the sides to display the turret interior.

I have spare parts all over the place so have started to trim and fit some interior eye candy into the hull. Here is the first custom price I have done... The commanders targeting pod setup. I will be using what I have for this interior and may end up scratch building some. Will work on this on and off for a bit. Better get researching lmao.

Better get researching lmao.

The American Fighting Vehicle Database has a good number of shots from the vehicle's technical manual. You can also find the TM online.

When I first entered the army and walked into the 82nd ao for my first unit that was first thing I saw lol. Basically was used all the way into desert storm... The m10 booker is the replacement. You can fit and lift 2 of those on a c17.

That turret seems almost designed to let you leave the upper sides off so you can show the interior.

Perhaps.it was but the only thing interior had was gun the rest is all added. The plan is just to hinge those sides. I am actually anticipating a 1/16 model today! Can't wait!

So will be working on and off on this. IDK how far I will take it but the real interior is pretty crazy especially the drivers hatch. May go through a few other interior models that I have and see if extra parts there to do something with as well.
