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.
Key Features:
- This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit.
- 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.

Take a look at the powerful Comet from the rear, the 77mm gun oozing menace in detailed 1/35 scale.
Commander and loader torso figures can be installed to add even more life to your modeling masterpiece!
A depiction of the canvas gin shield cover masterfully depicts creases and folds in the fabric.
A busy front section features driver's visor, machine gun, headlight and a complex tow cable layout.
Assembly type tracks showcase marvellous molding detail, using one piece straight runs for convenience.
One of the return rollers features a locator pin that ensures your track will be in just the right spot.
Smoke dischargers and tow hooks accent the rear, as does the duct dubbed a "Normandy cowling."
The two-part Normandy cowling allowed the gun to be locked at the rear of the Comet.
Plenty of accessories are included to add an extra accent: shovel, bar, helmets and more.
The chassis is built up into an accurate box-like structure, with bulkheads boosting durability.
