NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
Tamiya’s 1:35 Comet tank, Part 2....
My apologies to everyone expecting to see the second and final part
of my build-up of Tamiya’s 1:35 Comet tank. Due to technical issues,
the model could not be finished in time for this Issue, but it will be in
Issue 327, January 2023, on sale December 15th.
