1:35 British Comets in ww2 and cold war. A34 Comet.

The real subject

The A34 Comet is a British cruiser tank from the end of the Second World War. It followed on from the Cromwell type, with which it shared a low silhouette and a resilient suspension, but it received a new turret and stronger armament with a muzzle brake. It reached the units only in the last months of the war, so it managed only a few combat deployments; in the British army, however, it served long after it, and its form changed step by step in the postwar years.

What the sheet covers

The sheet in 1:35 scale is devoted to precisely this type and covers both periods of its service, wartime and postwar. The elements are arranged so that several different machines can be marked from one sheet. The breakdown of the variants and the exact placing of the elements on a model are given in the instructions supplied with the sheet.

• scale 1:35
• the subject is the British A34 Comet cruiser tank
• markings from the end of the Second World War and from postwar service
• the basis for several differently marked machines on one sheet
• the elements are cut from the sheet one by one

Application

Cut an element out with sharp scissors close to the printing and soak it for a few seconds in lukewarm water. As soon as it begins to slide freely over the backing paper, transfer it onto a smooth, glossy and degreased surface. Press the excess water out with a soft cloth, help matters with a softener at the rivets and edges, and once it has dried go over the area with varnish, so that the edges of the carrier film disappear.

Who it is for

The sheet is for builders of British armored equipment in 1:35 scale who want to bring a model to a particular form, whether from the end of the war or from later service. A model, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
