    Description

    This ALL-NEW model kit recreates the British Cruiser Tank A34 Comet in 1/35 scale! At the end of WWII, the British Army developed the Comet - which became a base of later British Army tanks such as the Centurion - as a counter for the powerful German Tiger and Panther tanks. 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.- 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 219mm, width: 88mm.- The vertical-plane hull features box style assembly - accurately assembled with two bulkheads like the actual tank - so as not to disturb sculpture and shape.- Features realistic renderings of front hull and turret cast surfaces, and gun shield canvas cover surface.- Clear parts are included to render searchlight on turret left side.- Assembly type tracks have one-piece straight sections.- Choose from one-piece or two-piece (right and left) split type of the engine exhaust cover Normandy Cowling .- Includes two torso figures to depict crew with winter clothes.- Comes with a choice of two marking options to recreate 11th Armored Division tanks which saw action during WWII.
