[Product Introduction]
TAMIYA 1/35 Military Miniature Series No.380 British cruiser tank Comet.
[The culmination of British tanks created by the determination to defeat Germany]
The Comet appeared 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 vehicle body is based on the conventional main battle tank Cromwell, and the main gun is equipped with a Q.F.77mm gun, comparable to the 17-pounder, which was said to be Britain's strongest anti-tank gun 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 during the Rhine Crossing Operation in March 1945, mainly struggled to support infantry and fully demonstrated the power of its 77mm gun. Its performance, which balanced attack power, mobility, and defense power, was highly praised by crew and infantry. Comet 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. Total length 219mm, total width 88mm. Based on actual vehicle interviews, the fearless style with a long-barreled 77mm gun on a flat body has been modeled to give you a realistic feel. The front of the car body and turret realistically expresses the texture of casting. The canvas cover of the mantlet is also a highlight. The track adopts a connected type that integrates the straight part. The duct at the rear of the car body, called the Normandy cowl, can be selected as either a type with integrated left and right sides or a type with separate sides.
