Take your pick from this array of Sheridan and M113 markings from Echelon Fine Details. Also available is the third set of 12. SS-Pz.Div. Panthers that fought in Ardennes.
4/12 Cav M551s & M113s in Vietnam (D356262)
This set features 4/12 Cavalry AFVs that fought in the Vietnam War. 3 M113A1 ACAVs and 1 M551 Sheridans. All of which featured colorful, visually interesting and striking markings. A great way to have both types of 4/12 CAV vehicles in one diorama setting.

3/5 Cav M551s & M113s in Vietnam (D356263)
This set features 3/5 Cavalry AFVs that fought in the Vietnam War. 7 M113A1 ACAVs and 3 M551 Sheridans. All of which featured visually interesting and striking markings, coupled with fine stenciling (that seems mandatory on all vehicles). Notice that each vehicle has a yellow shape with red number on both sides of the hull. Triangle denotes A Troop. B Troop uses a square/rectangle. While C Troop, a circle. This set allows both types of vehicles to be featured in one diorama, since all are Black Knight vehicles.

11 ACR M551s & M113s in Vietnam Part 1 (D356264)
This set features 11 ACR AFVs that fought in the Vietnam War. 2 M113A1 ACAVs and 4 M551 Sheridans. This set covers only A Troop vehicles, denoted by all the red markings and barrel rings. B Troop was blue and C Troop white. Needless to say, the red markings are visually striking, coupled with other interesting graffiti here and there. Here then is a chance to have both types of vehicles in a diorama setting, since all are from the same unit.

11 ACR M551s & M113s in Vietnam Part 2 (D356265)
This set features 11 ACR AFVs that fought in the Vietnam War. 4 M113A1 ACAVs and 5 M551 Sheridans. This set covers A, B and C Troop vehicles. A Troop, denoted by red markings and barrel rings. B Troop blue and C Troop white. Each vehicle comes with interesting markings, coupled with some interesting graffiti here and there. One special mention is a B Troop Sheridan named "Body Count" which had a pair M2 MGs on the commander cupola and a pair of M73 MGs on the loader's side. This is a set that enables both types of vehicles to be featured in a single diorama setting.

3/4 CAV M551s & M113s IN VIETNAM Part 1 (D356266)
This set features 3/4 CAV AFVs that fought in the Vietnam War. 1 M113A1 ACAV and 3 M551 Sheridans. This set covers A, B and C Troop vehicles. A Troop, denoted by red barrel rings (triangle corners for M113s). B Troop white and C Troop blue. Each vehicle comes with personalized markings (some interesting). For example, A25 featured a cool and large graffiti on the hull front, among other things. White B15 had a shark mouth on both sides of the gun barrel collar. All 3/4 Cav vehicles have both white numbers on the hull sides. This set allows both types of vehicles in one diorama.

N.B. The preceding decal sets are also provided with full, accurate exterior M551 hull stenciling & silver-edged Data Plates (for the AN/VSS-3 searchlight), accurate M113 exterior hull stenciling, and Vietnam era .50 Cal ammo box stencils. The Vietnam War M551s are full of stencils, particularly the turret sides and rear. When you remove any of the ammo boxes or water can, there will be a stencil visible. When you remove a tool from the hull rear, so will a stencil appear on the surface beneath the tool.

12. SS-Pz.Div. Panthers (Pt.3) Ardennes 1944 (AXT351033)
Covers 6 specific Panther Ausf. Gs (Early & Late) from 12. SS Panzer Division that saw action at Ardennes, 1944 (plus one at Normandy). The colors of the numbers are white outlines on black, just like their Panzer IV counterparts in Normandy. Also included are small matching tactical numbers that were painted on tow clevises, "G" and "A" symbols, and hull registration numbers.

[/quote] Echelon says there's more Sheridan markings in the works, so keep an eye for updates. [/quote] I will do that! I think I may go with one of the more "nondescript" choices, though; I generally leave some of the more "flamboyant" color-schemes and "nose-art" for my 1/48 Aircraft...

Can we round-out the selections to include USAEUR and CONUS applications?
MAR 11, 2019 - 04:29 AM
THOSE would CERTAINLY be welcome, as well...
