1/72: A34 Comet Tank, 1st RTR, British Army

1/72: A34 Comet Tank, 1st RTR, British Army, Sek Kong Camp, Hong Kong, 1950 – The British Cruiser Tank A34 “Comet” was designed to correct some of the problems with the Cromwell Tank as well as providing better anti-tank capability for their squadrons. The Comet was late entering WWII so it wasn’t involved in any major battles but with its new main gun it could take on Germany’s large tanks. After WWII the Comet saw combat in Korea and remained in the British inventory until 1958. The Comet was sold to 5 other countries and some even operated until the 1970s.
