Bring your M551 Sheridan model to life with this highly detailed 1/35 scale ammunition set—designed for maximum realism in dioramas and vehicle load-outs.

This set replicates the full range of the Sheridan’s unique and versatile 152mm armament, from high-explosive rounds to advanced guided missiles. 

Kit Includes:

• 10x M409 152mm HEAT Rounds – Anti-armor rounds used to defeat bunkers and enemy vehicles.

• 10x MGM-51 Shillelagh Missiles – The iconic guided anti-tank missile fired through the Sheridan’s gun/launcher.

• 10x M625 Canister Rounds – Devastating at close range against infantry targets.

• 10x M657 High-Explosive Rounds – For use against soft targets and fortifications.

• 20x Spent Shell Casings – Adds realism to vehicles in action or post-engagement scenes.

Armed with the experimental M81 152mm gun-missile launcher, the M551 Sheridan was a bold attempt to merge traditional cannon firepower with cutting-edge missile technology.

It could launch both case-less conventional rounds and the MGM-51 Shillelagh missile—an advanced fire-and-forget weapon guided by infrared signals.

While the system promised a powerful punch for a light reconnaissance tank, it was plagued with reliability issues and operational quirks.

The Sheridan saw combat in Vietnam, Panama, and the Gulf War, earning a mixed reputation for its impressive firepower and poor survivability. Vulnerable to mines and RPGs, its light aluminium armour and volatile ammunition posed significant risks to crews in combat. Despite its flaws, the Sheridan offered unmatched versatility for its weight class and played a unique role in American armoured doctrine.

Compatible with all 1/35 scale Sheridan kits.
