COBI Goliath Tracked Mine Warsaw Uprising Set #2680

COBI Goliath Tracked Mine: A Dramatic Warsaw Uprising Diorama

The COBI Goliath Tracked Mine brings one of World War II’s most unusual military vehicles into a detailed Warsaw Uprising display. Set #2680 combines a 1:28 scale Goliath demolition vehicle with a ruined Warsaw building, two opposing brick figures and battlefield accessories. With 311 pieces, it creates a compact but historically meaningful scene for military model collectors.

The model represents the Sd.Kfz. 303 Goliath, a small, tracked demolition vehicle controlled through a long cable. German combat engineers used these unmanned vehicles to carry explosive charges toward barricades, fortified positions and other targets. Although compact, the Goliath could deliver a destructive payload without placing an operator inside the vehicle.

A Warsaw Uprising Scene in Brick Form

During the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, German forces deployed Goliath vehicles against barricades and defensive positions built by Polish resistance fighters. The vehicles could move through streets and among urban ruins while their operators remained behind cover.

However, the trailing control cable was also a serious weakness. Polish insurgents learned that they could disable some Goliaths by cutting the cable before the vehicle reached its target. Slow speed, thin armor, limited mobility and vulnerable controls reduced the weapon’s overall effectiveness. Even so, its use against the Polish Home Army made it one of the uprising’s most recognizable German weapons.

You can learn more about the real Goliath tracked mine, including its development, mechanical design and wartime service.

The ruined building included in this set gives that history a physical setting. Its damaged walls, exposed masonry, opening windows and scattered debris capture the appearance of a city caught in intense urban combat. A red-and-white Polish flag and resistance markings reinforce the Warsaw setting.

Detailed Features for Display and Storytelling

The COBI Goliath Tracked Mine offers several distinctive features:

• A movable 1:28 scale Sd.Kfz. 303 Goliath with working tracks
• A deployable control cable connecting the vehicle to its German operator
• A detailed ruined Warsaw building with opening windows and battlefield damage
• Newly designed two-color brick-wall elements that reproduce bricks and mortar
• Two brick figures representing a Polish insurgent and German combat engineer
• Printed historical details with no stickers required
• Period-inspired weapons, binoculars, rubble and battlefield accessories
• A Polish resistance flag and anchor emblem displayed on the building

The Polish insurgent wears a resistance-marked helmet and carries equipment for observing or confronting the approaching vehicle. Meanwhile, the German combat engineer holds the Goliath’s control unit. Together, the figures turn the completed model into a tense moment rather than a static vehicle display.

This set pairs especially well with the COBI Jagdpanzer 38(t) “Chwat” Set #2670. Polish insurgents captured the real vehicle during the uprising, making the two 1:28 scale sets natural companions in a larger historical display.

Compact dimensions also make Set #2680 easy to display on a shelf or alongside larger World War II vehicles. The combination of mechanical history, urban scenery and human resistance gives the model a depth that goes beyond its piece count.

For collectors interested in unusual military engineering, Polish history or early unmanned vehicles, the COBI Goliath Tracked Mine delivers an engaging build and a memorable display.
