U.S. UTILITY TRUCK M151A1 VIETNAM WAR TAMIYA

The M551 Sheridan was an American light tank of the Cold War period. The first prototypes of the vehicle were built in 1965, and serial production continued in 1966-1970, ending with the production of about 1700 units of this tank. The M551 Sheridan was powered by a General Motors 6V-53T engine with 300 HP. It was armed with a single 152 mm M81 cannon/launcher, 1 x 7.62 mm M73 Browning machine gun, and 1 x 12.7 mm M2HB machine gun. The M551 Sheridan was developed as a successor to the M41 Walker Bulldog light tank. The new light tank of the US Army was characterized primarily by a completely innovative armament, based on the M81 cannon launcher and MGM-51 Shillelagh guided missiles. They were intended to allow a light tank like the M551 to engage in combat on par with Soviet MBTs like the T-62 or T-64. However, when the M551 vehicles were delivered to US troops fighting in Vietnam, it was found that they were highly emergency, difficult to maneuver in the field, and had no ammunition capable of fighting enemy infantry. They were also vulnerable to anti-tank grenade launchers due to their relatively weak armor. After modernization, some of these defects were removed, but the combat performance of the M551 was still far from that for which it was intended. In 1978 they were withdrawn from service, with the exception of some airborne and airborne subunits. The M551 Sheridan took part in the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991), after which it was completely withdrawn from service in the US Army. We do not ship to the Canary Islands

US NAVY PBR31MK.II PATROL BOAT RIVER “PIBBER” TAMIYA 1:35. GLUE AND PAINTS NOT INCLUDED. WE DO NOT SHIP TO THE CANARY ISLANDS. Pibber (also known as Patrol Boat, Riverine or PBR) is a type of post-war American river patrol boat. In the Mk. II, a single boat was 9.8 meters long and 3.5 meters wide. Propulsion was provided by two Detroit Diesel engines with a total power of 360 hp, allowing a maximum speed of 28-29 knots. Armaments consisted of 7.62 and 12.7 mm Browning machine guns and a single Mk. 18 cal. 40 mm. Pibber patrol boats from the beginning were designed to serve in the shallow waters of the rivers of Indochina and therefore had a low shot, as well as receiving propulsion that made it much easier for them to navigate the rivers. Units of this type served mainly during the Vietnam War in the period from March 1966 to the end of 1971 on the Mekong River. They performed patrol tasks, close support of their own troops, but also for the transportation of special forces. In the course of production, two types of boats of this type were created: the first (Mk. I) was the basic version, the second (Mk. II) was longer, wider than its predecessor and had slight changes in the hull structure. In total about 250 Pibber boats were built.
