Now that I'm over the spending hangover, I'm really interested in finding out more about this tank. Before purchasing the kit, I had skimmed over the brief history written up on the Armortek website(http://www.armortek.co.uk/html/vehicles/Comet/Comet2.html). It bascially tells you that the Comets were based on the Cromwell design and they were modified to upgrade the electroncis and main gun. They were introduced to the war effort late in the game and actually didn't have a huge impact in WII.
The first Comets actually saw action in the Spring of 1945 where they replaced the Shermans of the 11th Armoured Division / 29th Armoured Brigade. 11th AD “Taurus Pursuant” utilized the new Comets to sweep the Baltic ports once they crossed the Rhine.
The Comets were utilized port war as well, but being a WWII nut I'm going to spend my research time looking into the time spent there. I'm also interested in digging up more information on the 11th AD / 29th AB and see if I can get some interesting facts about them.
