Tamiya 35380 1/35 Scale Military Model Kit WWII British Cruiser Tank A34 Comet
Brand New Kit
Cruising to Victory
While German forces had dangerous Tigers and Panthers prowling the battlefield, by the end of the conflict the British were fielding a capable answer: the Comet. With a hull based upon that of the Cromwell and a new, larger turret accomodating the Q.F. 77mm gun, it was a formidable proposition indeed. Comets took part in the March 1945 Allied crossing of the Rhine, providing vital infantry support fire; crews are said to have been happy with the balance of firepower, survivability and mobility it provided.
About the Model
* This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 219mm, width: 88mm.
* Extensive study of full-size Comets underpins this accurate rendering of the boxy hull with larger turret and 77mm gun.
* Cast metal armor surfaces on the hull and turret front are realistically depicted, as is the shape of the canvas gun shield cover.
* Assembly type tracks employ one piece straight sections.
* Choose between connected and separated "Normandy cowling" designs for the rear.
* A clear part is used to recreate searchlight lens.
* Comes with two crew torso figures in winter gear, with two vehicle marking options also included in the kit.
