COBI

COBI is not only good at making small aircraft, but also always manages to make large models that are authentic and stable. The Lancaster should easily fit in here.

Many COBI fans have asked themselves why another Tiger in 1:12 format. The Tiger variants currently predominate in the other formats too. Nevertheless, we have to look at what has changed in the new model.

Since the Ukraine war at the latest, the Panzerhaubitze 2000 has been on everyone’s lips again. In cooperation with the Munster Tank Museum, COBI has created exactly the model that can be seen there.

When a model gets a new version, it should of course be better than its predecessor. I took a closer look to see whether this is also the case with the new Challenger 2 from COBI.

In 1944, a Chevrolet truck was transformed into an armored vehicle in just a few days. Of course, it doesn’t take quite as long to build the authentic model from COBI.

Since both models are very similar, I built them in one go. After all, the Flakpanzer Wirbelwind is based on the Panzer IV and has only minimal differences in the hull.

Shortly after the new Tiger 131, another Tiger from COBI is coming out, which essentially only differs in its camouflage colors. The construction of the two models is almost identical.

For the first time, COBI has also launched the King Tiger in a 1:35 mini-figure scale. In some cases, this model even has more details than its big brother in 1:28 scale.

Even though Japan was a major participant in World War II, it has been neglected in models to date. However, this extremely detailed aircraft carrier Akagi changes that.

It’s been a while since COBI tried to build an IS-3 again. But this new model has all the advantages that we first saw on the new Tiger.

Many people no longer believed it, but after countless Tiger and Sherman variations, COBI has finally brought the first, albeit small, Japanese tank onto the market.
