I have the Operation Unthinkable boxed set containing the British and German tanks. The GF9 Operation Unthinkable boxed set, the British versus German, contains 17 tanks, three of which are the A34 Comet Cruiser Tank.
The A34 Comet was a British cruiser tank that was developed in the late stages of World War II. It was based on the Cromwell tank, but it had a number of significant improvements, including a new 17-pounder gun, a fully-welded hull and turret, and a new suspension system.
This is the GF9 finished model.
This the sprue.
With three models I decided I would vary construction. One would be as indicated in the instructions.
For the other two I decided I would add some commanders (which are included in the Operation Unthinkable boxed set). I also used the stowage from the American tanks I got in the other box.
For one model I did add significant amounts of stowage.
The other less so.
Here are the three constructed Comet tanks.
I decided to use magnets with the turrets, and I kind of wish I hadn’t. I had trouble getting them to both fit and when glueing them into position I eventually got it sorted.
I then gave all three models a white undercoat.
The next stage was to paint the underneath of the model with Army Painter Colour Primer: Angel Green to add shadow and depth.
Then the models were sprayed with Army Painter Army Green Spray.
The next stage will be painting the tracks and stowage.
