British A34 Comet


Recommended Posts

So finished my Bronco A34 Comet. Minus 1x canvas mantlet cover. No dramas at all with the kit. Straight out the box build apart from a metal gun barrel. Painted with Vallejo. Used mig and 501 oils and pigments. Figure is from Alpine. Any comments or constructive criticism is welcome. Thanks for looking.

I keep thinking I'm going to sell all my 1/35 stuff - and then people like you post lovely builds like this, you're no help at all!! :)

 

Really like your finish and the not over done weathering - very nice work indeed! Base sets it all off very well too! :thumbsup:

Excellent piece of work!

I have a soft spot for the Comet, its one of the better- looking tank designs of British origin.

Great paintjob and weathering too.

Wow, what an amazing build! You've certainly made the Comet shine! Which version of the Bronco kit did you build? The newer one or the older one with the one-piece tracks? I really want to build the Comet, but don't like dealing with individual-link tracks.

 

Thanks very much for sharing!! :)

Hi thanks for all the positive feed back. I built the newer kit with the individual track links. The fit was great and I was surprised myself. Only a little clean up required and they all clipped together fine with no glue at all. Really enjoyed this kit. Some detail was a bit poor round the handles on the rear decks. I’m very much a out the box guy. Didn’t fancy chopping bits off and replacing them. Same reason why I didn’t bother with the canvas cover for the mantlet.

That looks really really good! I stick to WWI stuff but l love surfing on here and seeing what other people manage to accomplish 😊

I'm mostly a 1/72 aircraft fan and have done some small scale armour in the past and a few 1/35 tanks in the early 80's.

 

Your Comet looks fantastic, especially on that nicely done base.

Nicely done. One thing to practice for next time is the figure eyes. Apart from that good job. 

Yeah I noticed that too. Found some stuff on YouTube that will hopefully help with that in the next build.
