Building Bronco's A34 Comet - Getting it right:
Posted by Hinksy on Sunday, May 12, 2013 11:23 AM

Hi guys,

I know it's been a since I purchased Bronco's Comet but I've finally made the jump and have invested in Friuls and Accurate Armour's Resin upgrades (Mantlet Cover and barrel, road wheels with correct hubs and stowage set).

The link below shows Accurate Armours Comet stuff - scroll down the page to see all the stuff they do:

Below is a review of the Mantlet Cover and Barrel set taken from Perth Models site:

I've not worked with Resin before so I'm 'anxious' looking at this Mantlet Cover. I had it in my head that it would come as shown on their website! That would be too easy!

I'm going to be starting this as soon as my Panzer IV WIP is complete.

If anyone has built this kit and can help me with general advice then I'd be very grateful.

Have YOU built one of these? Do you have links to blogs which are always a big help!

I'm also not 100% sure on the basecoat colour to opt for - which recipe or actual colour on it's own should I be looking at? This will be a WWII Comet btw.

Thanks guys,

Ben Toast

I've got that mantlet cover, Ben. It's perfectly superb, and easy as pie to install. Buy it without hesitation. ;)
