35380 1/35 British Cruiser Tank A34 Comet

The culmination of British tanks born from the determination to overthrow Germany
The Comet was introduced at the end of World War II as a British tank that could compete with powerful German tanks such as the Tiger and Panther. The basic structure of the car body is based on Cromwell, a conventional main battle tank, and the main gun is equipped with a QF77mm gun, which is comparable to the 17-pounder gun, which was said to be the strongest anti-tank gun in England at the time. The turret has also been enlarged to match the new main gun, giving it a more modern look. The Comet, which made its first appearance in the Rhine Crossing Operation in March 1945, struggled mainly to support infantry, fully demonstrating the power of its 77mm cannon. The well-balanced performance of attack power, mobility, and defense power was highly appreciated by the crew and infantry.

About the Model
This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit of the Comet. ★Length: 219mm, Width: 88mm. Based on research on the actual vehicle, the fearless style with a long 77mm gun on a flat body has been realistically modeled. ★The hull and front of the turret have a realistic cast feel. The mantlet canvas cover is also a highlight. ★The tracks are articulated with straight sections. ★The Normandy cowl duct at the rear of the hull can be selected from the left and right integrated type or separate type. ★The searchlight lens on the side of the turret is made of clear parts. ★Comes with 2 half-length figures of the crew in winter clothes and 2 types of markings.
