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.

Packaging

★Take a look at the powerful Comet from the rear, the 77mm gun oozing menace in detailed 1/35 scale.

★Commander and loader torso figures can be installed to add even more life to your modeling masterpiece!

★A depiction of the canvas gin shield cover masterfully depicts creases and folds in the fabric.

★A busy front section features driver's visor, machine gun, headlight and a complex tow cable layout.

★One of the return rollers features a locator pin that ensures your track will be in just the right spot.

★Left: Smoke dischargers and tow hooks accent the rear, as does the duct dubbed a "Normandy cowling."
