TAMIYA 1/35 British Cruiser Tank A34 Comet

1/35 British Cruiser Tank A34 Comet, Tamiya is proud to welcome the Comet to the 1/35 Military Miniature Series for the first time!, 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 the Operation Varsity in March 1945, and around 900 including ones produced after WWII were built. About the Model, This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit.
