magman2 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 New 1/35 Comet Tank from Tamiya Net Photo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Well the Bronco one apparently has its faults. Especially considering that there are many survivors to reference. If they're going down this road, a better Challenger (A30) and a Charioteer would be nice..... Maybe a Centaur Dozer? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scimitar F1 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 This is great. The best British tank by far to see service in WW2. Long overdue for an accurate, modern kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Wilson Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I had no desire for a Comet at all. But it's Tamiya so I'm going to buy one, maybe two. Is three too many? Built the old Matchbox one as a kid many times. Better start the research. Stuart 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 That's great news. Tamiya continues it's run of excellent British armour kits. Hopefully it'll have some nice crew figures too - in pixie suits maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Yes, very nice figures. Did this vehicle have a white turret roof? It might be the light, but looking at the photo of the real thing it does seem to be a lighter colour, with a definite demarcation at the base of the cupola.

Don149 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I built the Bronco one , even to painting it , but after being beaten by the tracks it was eventually scrapped . You can put me down for this one though . Those Tamiya figures are the best ! . Don . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Browne Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Sold...nice to have a new Comet, and the slow Tamiya 1/35 releases were becoming a concern, not to mention 1/32... This kit seems to be hard to find at the moment though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
