A34 Comet British Cruiser Tank 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
a~...This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 219mm, width: 88mm. a~...Extensive study of full-size Comets underpins this accurate rendering of the boxy hull with larger turret and 77mm gun. a~...Cast metal armor surfaces on the hull and turret front are realistically depicted, as is the shape of the canvas gun shield cover. a~...Assembly type tracks employ one piece straight sections. a~...Choose between connected and separated "Normandy cowling" designs for the rear. a~...A clear part is used to recreate searchlight lens. a~...Comes with two crew torso figures in winter gear, with two vehicle marking options also included in the kit.

Here are some accessories you might find useful for this kit
A34 Comets of 23 Hussars, 11 Armoured Division Marking set covering 23 Hussars Comets of 11 Armoured Division. A couple of the tanks had names. Being the senior regiment of 11 AD, all squadron symbols would be red, thus a complete set is provided.
The allied recognition star is based on a known overhead view of a 11 AD Comet, the ring being thick. Thus, different from kit samples. Generic WDN digits provided, including prefixes "T-33" which most Comets if not all started with. All that is required is to assemble the remaining 4 digits for customisation. The WDN styles and size is completely designed from scratch for the Comet series. Includes 11 AD unit patches for both left and right shoulders (different facing bulls, all should face towards the front).
A34 Comets of 3 RTR, 11 Armoured Division
Marking set covering 3 Royal Tank Regiment Comets of 11 Armoured Division. Probably the most photographed Comet unit during the war. Almost all had names starting with "C" regardless of which squadron. Some had personalised markings. Several AOS "52" squares and 11 AD Symbol variations were detected among the tanks, so were as faithfully captured as possible for the set. Being the second regiment of 11 AD, all squadron symbols would be yellow, thus a complete set is provided.

A34 Comets of 2 Fife & Forfar Yeomanry, 11 Armoured Division. Marking set covering 2 Fife & Forfar Yeomanry Comets of 11 Armoured Division. Several of the tanks had names. Being the junior regiment of 11 AD, all squadron symbols would be blue, thus a complete set is provided.
Large tactical numbers were seen at the turret rear of the regiment's Comets, so generics are provided.
