I've built matchboxes 1/72nd A34 comet years ago and for the last ten years or I've been building 1/35th armour (mainly German with the odd sherman and chaffee (Italeri)), now my interest has moved to British WWII Armour and wondered if there is a 1/35th Comet out there to build???

There my be a resin model out there........

It's a shame that Dragon/Tamiya or Italeri don't make one or do they???

Any Ideas on where to get a Comet would be appreciated.

Cheers

The only 1/35 Comet currently available is the one from Accurate Armour, but at nearly £70 it's an expensive piece of kit. I've noticed posts in one or two other forums that ICM have one advertised on some of their boxes, but I've no idea if this is so. The only British armour mentioned on their web site are two Cromwells.

Only other Comet I know of is one by UPC. They made a few of these motorized kits like the Charioteer, Comet, Conquistidor(?), and maybe a few other "C" tanks. They were 1/40 scale, I have the Charioteer somewhere.

Looks to be a future product from ICM.
