Rangerboy83 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 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. 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 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! Keith 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 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. Greetings from Vienna, Roman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qcarr Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 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!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 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. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Really nice build and the painting and weathering (and the figure) are great. It's one of Bronco's better kits. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris B Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Nicely done. One thing to practice for next time is the figure eyes. Apart from that good job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I noticed that too. Found some stuff on YouTube that will hopefully help with that in the next build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
