Hi: I want to know if there is some plastic kit of a British Comet tank in 1/72.
I´ve only found a very old 1/76 matchbox one (which actually was my very first model kit my father gave me in 1978 when i was 6) If no plastic available, which one will be the best metal ones? Thanks a lot, Regards, Diego |

there are the diecast ones by hobbymaster, not cheap though.
the macthbox ones are ok but as you say 1/76th |

Revell makes or made a 1/76 Comet. You might want to see if S&S has a kit. |

The Revell 1/76th models ARE Matchbox… They acquired those tools when the Matchbox line was shut down. |

OK. I didn't know. Scratch that idea. |

IMHO The only 1/72 Comet is the ready made version from Hobbymaster . |

Yes, I think Cromwell now have one in their 1/72nd range, join the Cromwell Community on Facebook |

Hobbymaster is the best bet, but Cromwell makes a nice kit in 1/72 scale too. Dan Taylor offers some add-ons, as I recall, such a replacement roadwheels. If you're looking for 1/72 scale, stay away from the Revell (ex-mathcbox) kit. It's 1/76 and too small for 1/72 scale. - George |
