Rubicon A34 Comet [28mm]

I'm building tamiyas new Comet I was the same I needed it! It's going together

Well that's it, i'm buying one of these👍

Thing you put in front of the commanders hatch is the gun-laying blade-vane gun sight also known as the ‘birdcage’

Good kit but I don’t understand why they can’t make fully detailed tracks. It’s annoying

I gotta name a tank celery now!

Ships?

Brilliant video as always

Uh... a Comet has hit the rotating disk!

Ah, these are the best. They have two at Duxford IWM and I was looking at them the other week. So bleeding quick, with a great gun and a low profile.

I'm building one of these at the moment. It's a lovely kit. A couple of points - the fit at the rear of the hull isn't great but I found it could be clamped top to bottom and didn't need filling. I also found that the running gear needs to be pressed home as far as they will go or they will interfere with the fitting of the skirts, there's not much margin for error. I superglued the searchlight on because of the very small joining area. I agree that the thing in front of the commander's hatch looks like the vane sight and should be an open structure. Lastly, I replaced the BESA barrels, they're a bit on the thick side. All in all a good, fun build - bring on the Centurions :-)

I'm curious, why is it called 28mm by some people but then 1/56 scale by that kit?

I really want to build a model kit but rightnow I have to get my life together and get everything ready for university

The thing in front of the commander's cupola looks like a very heavy version of a vane sight, which ought to be just a series of rods & bars to roughly judge the direction of a target. This seems to be a filled-in version of that.
