Detail Upgrade Parts to Refine Your M551 Sheridan

The Tamiya 12687 - 1/35 M551 Sheridan Etching Parts & Metal Barrel Set is an ideal choice for modellers aiming to increase realism on Vietnam War-era M551 Sheridan kits. This pack is tailored to work with the US Airborne Tank M551 Sheridan (item 35365), adding fine scale detail to your build.

Metal Barrel and Photo-Etched Parts for Realistic Surfaces

The set contains a precision-turned aluminum gun barrel plus two photo-etched frets. The turned aluminum barrel represents the 152mm gun/launcher with crisp muzzle detail and no seam lines to remove. The etches reproduce the anti-RPG net and the hull-top engine grilles for a convincing, scale-accurate finish.

Perfect for Careful, Historically Accurate Builds

Whether you display finished models or enter them in shows, these parts let you highlight distinctive Sheridan features. Experienced modellers and keen collectors will appreciate the fit and detail these components add to a completed project.

Very good and efficient service and an extensive range of products at a very competitive price.

Will this fit other makers' M551 kits?

This detail set was developed for compatibility with Tamiya's US Airborne Tank M551 Sheridan (item 35365). Fit on third-party kits may vary and could need modification.

What tools help with photo-etched parts?

Fine tweezers, a sharp hobby knife, a small file and superglue or CA are recommended. A bending tool or flat pliers makes shaping etchings neater and easier.

Any tips for painting the aluminum barrel?

Lightly scuff the barrel with fine abrasive, apply a metal primer, then use thin coats of acrylic or enamel paint. Mask the muzzle for a natural metal look if required.
