The Tamiya 1:35 A34 Comet British Cruiser Tank is a plastic scale model kit of the A34 Comet, one of Britain’s most effective late–World War II cruiser tanks.


About the tank

The real A34 Comet was a British Cruiser tank developed in the final stages of WWII, designed to combine mobility with improved firepower.

Key characteristics of the real vehicle:

  • 77mm HV main gun (effective against late-war German armour)

  • improved armour compared to earlier Cromwell-based designs

  • based on the Cromwell tank chassis, but heavily refined

  • excellent speed and mobility for a cruiser tank

  • served in late WWII and post-war British Army service

  • considered one of Britain’s best-balanced WWII tanks

It represented a major step forward in British armoured design before the introduction of the Centurion.
