Painting Flames of War British Armour - Fast and Simple! [How I Paint Things]

Issue and deployment of these late war monsters packing the powerful 17pdr high velocity gun - known informally as the 77mm - was slow, but wherever they fought they marked themselves as dangerous foes for German tankers. A combination of good speed, decent armour and the massively powerful main gun make Comets an excellent choice on the tabletop, too! Grab your own Comet armoured troop from www.flamesofwar.com or wherever Battlefront miniatures are stocked near you!

Thanks again to Battlefront for sending along the Comet for me to paint up, and remember that these methods will work for almost any British vehicles in the European Theater of Operations. Cromwells, Daimler Dingos, Humber armoured cars - if it's green, it's this easy!
