Description

Piece together your own Renault R35, Valentine IX, and Panzer I with this 595-piece COBI building block set! Part of COBI’s World War II Historical Collection, this set contains all the blocks needed to build these three tanks.

Each tank from this set is based on a real-life tank that can be found in each of Europe’s largest tank museums: the Valentine IX tank from The Tank Museum in the UK, the Panzer I light tank from the Deutsches Panzermuseum Munster in Germany, and the Renault R35 main battle tank from the Musée des Blindés in France.

This is an awesome starter set for anyone who is starting their collection of armored vehicles from COBI or for anyone who has been to one of these museums (like me!). The Valentine measures 14cm long, the Panzer measures 8.5cm, and the R35 measures 9cm. They make for great display models or toys; the choice is up to you! Each tank is 1:48 scale. ~Alex
