History

The A34 Comet was a British cruiser tank that first saw use near the end of World War II during the Invasion of Germany. It was designed as an improvement on the earlier Cromwell tank, mounting the new 77 mm high-velocity gun in a new lower profile and part-cast turret. This gun was effective against late-war German tanks, including the Panther at medium range, and the Tiger. The tank was widely respected as one of the best British tanks of the war, and continued in service afterwards.


I might add tracks later as I tried before and got really frustrated when they kept spazzing out. If anyone can help with that I’ll gladly appreciate it but for now, enjoy!

    Dude, you've done a wonderful job for a first time build. I'd never thought that I'd see this of all tanks on the site. Keep up the good work
