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.

★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.   ★Assembly type tracks showcase marvellous molding detail, using one piece straight runs for convenience.   ★One of the return rollers features a locator pin that ensures your track will be in just the right spot.
