Eduard 36408 M551 Sheridan front anti-RPG wire net is a professional set of photo-etched parts in 1/35 scale, dedicated to the model of the iconic American light tank M551 Sheridan by TAMIYA. This is a high-quality modelling accessory designed for the most demanding enthusiasts of armored vehicles from the Cold War period and modern conflicts.

The M551 Sheridan is a light tank developed and used by the United States Army from the late 1960s until the 1990s, particularly during the Vietnam War and the early stages of Operation Desert Storm. Outstanding features of the Sheridan included its compact size, amphibious capabilities, and powerful 152 mm gun capable of firing guided missiles. During conflicts, the vehicle was often fitted with additional protection against shaped-charge rounds, such as anti-RPG wire meshes mounted to the front hull—a detail that this Eduard set enables you to replicate accurately.
