Cobi - Iowa-Class Battleship - Executive Edition | Set 4836

Cobi has given us a lot of flexibility with their first 4-in-1 battleship. Whether it’s Iowa, New Jersey, Missouri, or Wisconsin - everyone certainly has a ship that is most important, be it for anecdotal reasons or historical context. The main difference, however, lies mostly in a handful of prints with partially slightly different deck structures. But that’s enough.

Cobi has also delivered a fine model. The ship comes in Dark Gray, which we don’t know from the European or Japanese ships. However, the deck is also colored this way. For World War II, this is correct, but personally I would have preferred a bare wood deck from the post-war era.

Of course, Cobi also has their high-quality pieces in the box, a good manual, also digital, and the best shipbuilding experience on the market. However, there is still no interior in this model.

The battleship, which is certainly the most well-known alongside Bismarck and Yamato, was perfectly implemented by Cobi. The fact that it was built by a democracy and not a human rights-abusing dictatorship is included for free.

Or maybe all four?The Iowa-class battleships are four ships ordered by the US Navy from 1939-1940 to conduct joint operations under the so-called high-speed fleet teams (Task Force). From the moment of their inception, the battleships took part in all wars conducted by the USA until the end of the 20th century. It was onboard the USS Missouri (BB-63) on September 2, 1945, that the act of surrender of the Empire of Japan was signed, officially ending World War II. The battleships served with interruptions in the reserve fleet and on the front line until 2006.
