The Tamiya 35380 British Cruiser Tank A34 Comet in 1:35 scale is a richly detailed kit for military history enthusiasts of the World War II era. This replica depicts the Comet medium tank, which was the British answer to the German Tiger and Panther armored vehicles. Based on the popular Cromwell hull, the designers installed a new, spacious turret housing the Q.F. 77 mm gun, making the Comet a match in firepower for its German counterparts. These tanks played an important role during the crossing of the Rhine in March 1945, effectively supporting Allied infantry and impressing their crews with the balance between firepower, mobility, and survivability.

The Tamiya 35380 kit was developed based on detailed research of original vehicles and faithfully reproduces the proportions and features characteristic of the A34 Comet. The hull measures 219 mm in length and 88 mm in width. Here you will find realistically rendered cast armor textures, pronounced details on the turret, and an authentic recreation of the canvas gun mantlet cover. The set is completed by clearly defined side rails and the option to assemble the "Normandy cowl" in two configurations. Additionally, a clear part allows you to create a convincing headlight lens effect, significantly enhancing the realism of the finished model.

The kit's highlights include two crew torso figures in winter gear and two marking options for historical vehicles. The model does not include resin or photo-etched parts, but the crispness of the plastic components will satisfy even demanding modelers.
