The Tamiya 1/35 British Cruiser Tank A34 Comet faithfully captures the late-war cruiser that gave British crews a balanced mix of firepower, survivability and mobility. Fielded in 1945 with the potent Q.F. 77mm gun, the Comet supported the Allied Rhine crossing and proved a capable answer to contemporary threats.
This HC-35380 plastic model assembly kit delivers crisp detail and smart engineering, offering an accurate depiction of the Comet’s boxy hull and enlarged turret in 1/35 scale. With realistic cast armour textures and a well-rendered canvas gun shield cover, the finished model presents an authentic appearance straight from the workbench.

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.
