Used primarily by the United States Army from the mid-1960s to the early 1990s, it proved itself during the Vietnam War, the US invasion of Panama (Operation \"Just Cause\"), and during Operation Desert Storm (Gulf War, 1991). A unique feature of the Sheridan tank was its 152mm gun capable of firing MGM-51 Shillelagh anti-tank guided missiles, as well as its exceptionally lightweight construction, allowing for airborne deployment. The upgraded A1TTS version introduced an advanced thermal sight targeting system.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRye Field Model 5020 Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of use: United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeriod of use: Cold War, modern times (1967–1996)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic, clear detail parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe set includes parts to build either the M551A1 or M551A1 TTS version\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eUpgraded hull and turret surface details, realistically rendered armament and equipment parts (including barrel, turret, external storage bins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePhoto-etched fine details included for enhanced realism\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDetailed molded segmented track texture, easy assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNo paints or glue included in the kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This Model?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Rye Field Model 5020 M551A1\/A1TTS Sheridan is recommended for experienced modelers and all enthusiasts of armored vehicles and historical modeling.
