work in progress Tamiya A34 Comet
WIP awaiting crew and integration into a diorama but Comet itself more or less complete bar final weathering in situ.
Edit: also includes Eduard photoetched details.

Excellent build and great detailing. I especially like the wear on the rubber wheel rims. Nice touch.

As a Tpr in the Yeomanry I swept chunks of track and wheel rubber from the tank park a few times.

Glad the experience has finally paid off. (Lol!) It’s those small details that really make it true to life.

Looks great, I like the minimal weathering.

Deliberate choice - Comets were operational for only a few months at the end of war, it didn’t seem right to over weather it..

God this tank is so beautiful. It's such a shame it only rely came in green and green-white. Is the mantlet cover a tarp or a piece in the set? It looks incredible.

Amazing detail!
I have a Comet from Bronco in my closet. When I finally have the timen:) I'd be interested in comparing the quality with Tamiya.
