Very nice work.
That is a minimum troop size purchase.

It looks terrific.  When is it due to come out?

I simply can't wait for it. It looks awesome. Great job!

This is the preliminary design for the upcoming A34 Comet decal sheet.  It includes all the basics plus some tank names that were available from historical records and reference material.

Any comments and feedback must be posted over this weekend.  We will finalise the design and send it to the printer coming Monday.  What do you think?




Enjoy!

Are these WW2 only?

Are these WW2 only?

Correct, we are limiting this sheet to WW2 only.  The post-war insignia was just too confusing for us.

Oh well.
Plenty of use for a WW2 model.

Nice.

Bit dissapointed there's no post war or foreign service choices on the decal sheet, seems a bit pointless including the post war variant if there's no markings for them. Maybe you could release a supplemental decal sheet?

[ultravanillasmurf]

I understand your disappointment, but the majority of builders will be constructing this for WW2, the post war options are a bonus. Hopefully their research on the Centurion project will lead to a set of decals for post war Comets as well.

One question, why is there a 40 ton bridge marker on the sheet?

Correct, we are limiting this sheet to WW2 only.  The post-war insignia was just too confusing for us.

Star decals have several decal sheets covering post war Comets in British service as well as foreign operators which could provide fairly easy research?

[spad]

Sorry for banging on about it again but I think you're making a mistake by not providing post war and foreign operator decals. The wartime service of the Comet was fairly limited whereas the postwar British and foreign service lasted for decades in some cases, some of which saw action such as the South African Comets.  There are easily accessible references available such as Bronco models Comet and Bison and Star decal sheets.Go on, you know you want to.
