I did not really do anything to represent modernization updates. I did use some “historic nods” to the Sheridan’s service history in “kitting” it out. The paint theme is Desert Shield/Storm inspired, the T72 style rear turret stowage bin represents the simulated ones used during its service at the National Training Center as an OPFOR tank, the rear deck stowage rack and supplies were seen often on Sheridans serving in Vietnam and finally the commanders cupola rear “bullet” shield as seen throughout its service life.
Mechanically I left everything stock except for the afore posted. I was going to add more weight to help the suspension work better and enhance overall grip, but after today’s track mishap I don’t think the tracks are strong enough to handle the added stress this would place on them.
