I see reports of 2 Sheridan kits;

56042 M551 Sheridan Full-Option Complete Kit
56043 M551 Sheridan Full-Option Kit

Not sure of the differences between the two. Usually, there would be a static and a RC versions.

I'm not sure either, the Pre Order at the AAF Museum is for the 56043 Full Option Kit.

Not crazy about the "Vehicle Kickback" with the Recoil function but I can live with it.

Thanks for the pics Adam :clap:
