The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!

Yeah, it's a Armortek Comet (beautiful, isn't it), but it's what we need to add to the Allied cause in 1/16. We need to flood Heng Long with requests for such a tank and advise them to tip the scale, lay off the German tanks for awhile and give us what we need.

Anyone else agree? :D

like it too

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

Absolutely my number one request .

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

yes on the Comet i would get one for sure

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

Comet can be done with christian's Cromwell kit and do quite a bit of scratch work.  I do agree though that HL or Tammy need to get some other
countries in the mix.

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

Oh Dear Sir., any tank can be scratch built and I know about that project as well as James is working on one right now. But your average (or even slightly above average) tank connoisseur doesn't have the time nor want to invest that much into it unless it's their absolute favorite and a must have no matter what or what the consequences are.

I just think HL needs to jump on the Allied side for a while and kick out some tanks that are mostly OD. :D

That's all. ;)

Sorry butLOL at the commet, what we need imo is a good T34, IS2 or hellcat . An IS3 and centurien would be nice as well as a m47 or m48.....

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

Yup, T-34 would be a big seller. 

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

Sure, if you don't have the time or experience it may not be an option. Just saying it's out there.</p>

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

I know, and I have both BUT ... there's a long list and I must prioritize those projects and scratch building just ANYTHING is not the solution nor the answer. Someone manufacturing it would be the best bet. I mean, what were they thinkin' when they put out the Walker Bulldog?

And I agree very much so on a T34 ... whatever the version. Sadly needed.

I have wanted a Comet for 3 years now.

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

just checked the build i posted on here i started the comet in 2008 [X(] so its 3 and a half lol

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

I just want something British and it's has to be instant gratification too. I ain't scratch building anything right now!! Hell, it takes me almost 3 years to build a Tamiya (with some modifications) ... who knows how long it would take me to come up with a tank that's non-existent! :D :D :D

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

It always suprises me that only wsn have done a t-34 given how prolific a tank it is. Does anyone know what happened to the project to begin small scale production of the churchill that was mooted on here last year?

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

Than just build one.....I wanted a E50 and I am building it....the t34 would be a great base for a comet imo.....have you seen this?

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

Nope, nope. Too many other irons in the fire. At the going rate, I have about 10 years of "things to do" and a Comet isn't one of them. :D Sooooo, I'd rather just pull it out of a box if that tells ya anything. [:o]

Speaking of WSN. Too bad they didn't put out the 76MM along with the 85 too. I know, I know ... I could just plop the turret on it, but for others ... :D

lol...looking at making a kv1 into a IS3........need some scale drawings of the 2.......

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

LOL

I'll be turning a HL KV-1 into a KV-122. I have all the parts, just need to find the time to get it in line. Now that I have picked up racing again I'll have even less time. [:@] AND ... summer's just around the corner, so who'll have time for the workbench.

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

A KV 122 would be an excellent conversion. These where begining to be seen on the ETO more and more as theheavy IS3 was being devloped.

RE: The Comet ... what we need in 1/16!
 

Yeah, some will argue that it was only a prototype and didn't see combat. But who cares. There have been a many that didn't and were built anyway. It seems to me that they DID send these off anyway because it was war, and the Soviets wasted nothing. :D

Need to find a neat, convincing Russian green for it. [8D]
