COBI Historical Collection WWII PzKpfw VI Tiger Ausf. E - 800 Pieces, White

Description

Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E, or Tiger, is a German heavy tank from World War II. Its characteristic look is still recognizable all over the world. The vehicle itself has become legendary and is still present not only in historical museums and publications but also in pop culture. The first of the Tigers were delivered to the front near Leningrad and in Tunisia in August/September 1942. The tank was designed and manufactured by Henschel and was very modern and effective. Unfortunately, its production took up an enormous amount of valuable resources and time. Tiger I tanks and a few Tiger II tanks had a significant influence on the course of the war. With their dangerous reputation and ability to inspire incredible fear, the Tigers destroyed more than 10,300 Allied tanks and 11,380 guns compared to the Tiger losses of only 1725 units. The Tiger I, made entirely of COBI building blocks, has many movable elements such as: opening manholes, movable gun barrel, rotating wheels and crawlers. Service flaps can be raised to see the engine mounted inside the vehicle. The set, consisting of as many as 800 pieces, is a very solid construction, which faithfully reflects the original shapes of its historic original. The tank has been covered with high quality prints, which do not wear off even during intense play. This realistic model is perfect as a great toy for young history and armored weapons enthusiasts, but it can also be a unique element of any adult military fan's collection. The set includes a figure of a German tanker and accessories: a P08 Parabellum personal pistol and binoculars. The unique pieces include a special block containing the name of the vehicle. In addition, there is a special card with vehicle statistics, which can be used in the Strategic Battle Game. Its rules are available free of charge on the website: www.cobigames.com.
