Cobi - Battleship Tirpitz | Set 4839

For me, Tirpitz is the best battleship from Cobi so far. This is due to the exciting appearance resulting from her camouflage paint and because they finally managed to get an interior design into a ship this scale. Even with only about one-third of the available interior space utilized by the new engine room, it is still a big step in the right direction.

Cobi’s push into new DIMENSIONS with these ships with almost three thousand pieces is also welcome. The pieces are well spend resulting in fine building techniques and more details.

That Cobi does not use any stickers but puts over fifty printed pieces into the set, is standard for this manufacturer, but is still worth mentioning.

Cobi has raised its prices across the board in recent years, but Tirpitz is fairly priced at around 7 cents per piece. What we get for the money is a great building experience, a sleek appearance, and a lot of naval history to discover.

The Tirpitz was a German battleship from the Second World War, launched on April 1, 1939. It was the twin ship of the battleship "Bismarck" and the largest unit of the Kriegsmarine from 1941–1944. It reached its combat readiness in September, 1941. It was sunk on November 12, 1944, near the Norwegian Tromsø by the British Air Force.The ship model created by the COBI company was produced in a scale of 1: 300. It has nearly 2810 elements and is 87 cm long. Thanks to the use of the latest available elements and advanced construction techniques, the model faithfully reflects the proportions of the historic ship and retains all of its essential elements, including the original, very characteristic camouflage. It has numerous moving parts such as propellers, rudders, rotating towers and gun barrels that can be raised and lowered. The set also includes a very stable and aesthetic black display stand with a plate with the name of the ship printed on it. As it is a large and quite complex model, we recommend it mainly to veteran collectors and older, experienced brick fans. It does not require gluing or painting, because its entire hull and all elements consist of COBI construction blocks.
