Tamiya 1/35 British Cruiser A34 Comet Tank Model Kit. This scale kit is designed to replicate the A34 Comet, which became the base of later British Tanks produced during WWII. With the hull design based upon the structure of the existing armored cruiser tank Cromwell, the Comet employed a larger turret with a powerful 17-pounder gun. The Comet first saw action in Operation Varsity in March 1945, and around 900 including ones produced after WWII were built. Tamiya has faithfully recreated this tank down to 1/35th scale.
NOTE: Photo of completed model is for illustrative purposes only. This is a model kit that requires assembly. Hobby tools, adhesive and paint will be needed to complete the model.
