Tamiya 35380 - 1/35 British Cruiser Tank A34 Comet Model Kit - Historical Armour Replica  [35380]

Accurate Comet Model for Historical Modellers

The Tamiya 1/35 British Cruiser Tank A34 Comet model kit recreates the late-war Comet with an emphasis on authentic detail and scale fidelity. It suits modellers who want to represent a key British armoured vehicle with realistic surface treatments and component fit.

Operational Use and Design Features

The A34 Comet saw service late in World War II, including action during Operation Varsity in 1945. Evolving from the Cromwell series, it carried a larger turret to house a 17-pounder style gun, improving its capability against opposing heavy armour. Production numbers ran to about 900, including post-war examples.

Kit Build Characteristics and Finish

The finished model spans 219mm in length and 88mm in width at 1/35 scale. The hull adopts a vertical-plane box construction echoing the original tank. Detailed turret castings, a canvas-like gun shield and clear searchlight parts are modelled to help achieve a convincing final appearance.
