Detailed 1/35 A34 Comet Model for Modellers

The Tamiya 1/35 British Cruiser Tank A34 Comet model kit is designed for scale enthusiasts who want a historically grounded build. The Comet's upgrades over earlier designs are captured here with realistic surface detail that appeals to both display builders and diorama creators.

Service History and Design Evolution

The A34 Comet was brought into service toward the end of WWII and saw action during operations such as Operation Varsity in 1945. Building on the Cromwell chassis, it featured a larger turret and a 17-pounder type gun that improved its battlefield performance. Around 900 units, including post-war versions, were completed.

Construction Highlights and Moulding Quality

At 1/35 scale the completed model measures 219mm in length and 88mm across. The vertical-plane hull is assembled in a box style that reflects the original construction. Cast textures on the turret, a reproduced gun shield canvas, and clear searchlight pieces add to the kit's fidelity.
