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. |
