More Than Just Bricks: A Historical Legacy
The Tiger I, also known as the Panzerkampfwagen VI, was a formidable force on the battlefields of World War II. Renowned for its thick armor and powerful 88mm cannon, the Tiger I instilled fear in Allied troops. Despite its impressive firepower, the Tiger I was complex to manufacture and maintain, ultimately hindering large-scale production.
However, the legend of the Tiger I lives on. Tiger 131 holds a special place in history as the only surviving tank in operational condition. Captured in Tunisia in 1943, Tiger 131 underwent restoration and is now the star attraction at The Tank Museum in Bovington, England. Witnessing Tiger 131 roar to life today offers a powerful reminder of the engineering marvel and destructive potential of these historic machines.

I dove straight in as a first time buyer of Military Bricks with this kit. Loved it! The directions were very clear, the attention to detail admirable, and the end product satisfying. It was a challenge for me to complete the kit, but well worth the effort. Numerous moving parts add to the realism. I’ll definitely be shopping here my next kit, maybe a warplane.

This model is highly detailed for its size. I think that the 1/28 scale just hits the sweet spot. Vehicles aren’t to large yet they pack lots of detail. With that said, this tank was a joy to build. It does have nice little play functions, but I’d say it’s more of a display than play model. Yes you can access the engine and fighting compartments which have nice detail.
I can not recommend this model to beginners though. If you’re just entering the world of bricks this is not for you. There’s quite few similar looking parts you really have to pay attention to the instructions.
I hope Cobi keeps giving us more and more of the 1:28 models.

My first and favorite COBI Set, it was for sure one of the best sets I’ve ever built with a overwhelming amount of detail. This has some tough things in it however, but the rest is very easy.
