This model is awesome!! I took my time in building it (17 hrs. and 42 mins. over 3 days) and it was worth it. I highly recommend this model. Directions were easy to follow for all 6 bags of parts. I have two things to offer. First, I wish I would have put the church on base plates after bag 1 or bag 2. The plates would make it easier to move and give it stability. Second, the parachute strings are extremely difficult to work with to thread threw the little loops on the parachute harness, especially after it starts to fray. I recommend maybe using a needle or after a good night’s sleep tackle it in the morning, LOL.
Overall, I am really impressed with this model and it will make a great addition to my collection and my U.S. History classroom.

WOW!
This set is huge. It took all weekend to complete. It’s stunning to look at, and dominates whatever setting it’s placed. I’ve had to re-think my D-Day scene to make sure this piece is included.
I agree with the other review that you need something to help the thread through the parachute holes. I used the peg that’s included to push mine though.
The roof can be a bit of a challenge. There are some pieces that are only held together with one stud, and if you apply the wrong amount of pressure, it comes apart. You also need to pay very close attention to the number of studs on a plate. The difference between 7 and 8 is easy to miss.
I love the details of the damaged bricks. Make sure you’re working in a well lit area, as the differences between the beige and white pieces in the instructions can be hard to differentiate on the smaller pieces.
The final model is pretty sturdy, just big, so be careful when moving it around.
Would love for Cobi to make more landmarks like this!
