Piece together your own Junkers Ju 88 with this 1,160-piece COBI building block set! Part of COBI’s World War II Historical Collection, this set contains all of the blocks needed to construct the versatile German combat aircraft.
The Ju 88 was first introduced by the Germans at the beginning of WWII as a multirole combat aircraft and was one of the country’s most-used aircraft during the war. It served in a wide variety of capacities, such as a bomber, dive bomber, night fighter, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, and heavy fighter. Its most unique usage was as a “flying bomb,” where it was packed with explosives, attached to a fighter plane, and dropped as an unmanned drone onto targets, leaving the piloted fighter to return back to base. The Ju 88 featured four 7.92mm machine guns, one 7.92mm twin machine gun, and carried up to 6,600lbs of bombs.
This 1:32 scale model features a rotating propeller, moveable wing flaps and bomb hatches, a cockpit that opens, and wheels that both roll and fold up into the body of the plane. A pilot minifigure is included. Perfect for aviation and military enthusiasts ages 7+, this set brings the Ju 88 to life in incredible detail! Dimensions are 18” long and 5.9” high. ~Alex
