COBI IS-3 Soviet Heavy Tank - 1170 pieces (World War II Historical Collection)

Description

Piece together your own IS-3 Soviet Heavy Tank with this 1170-piece COBI building block set! Part of COBI’s World War II Historical Collection, the IS-3 weighed over 48 tons and featured a 122mm gun, as well as 120mm of steep frontal armor. It was developed in 1944 in response to powerful German heavy tanks but was produced too late to see combat. Its first public appearance was in the 1945 Berlin Victory Parade celebrating the Western Allies’ victory in Europe, and it saw military action in later conflicts such as the Six-Day War, Yom Kippur War, and Russo-Ukrainian War.

This 1:28 scale model features working tracks, a fully traversable turret, and an adjustable gun barrel. The turret and service hatch can be removed to reveal the tank’s interior components, such as a brick replica of the IS-3’s powerful W-11 engine. A Soviet minifigure is also included. Perfect for tank and military enthusiasts ages 8+, this set brings the IS-3 to life in incredible detail! Dimensions are 13.98” long and 5.12” wide. ~Alex

Publisher's Description of COBI IS-3 Soviet Heavy Tank - 1170 pieces (World War II Historical Collection)

The IS-3 tank was first publicly presented during the Victory Parade held on September 7, 1945, in Berlin. Produced starting in April 1945, the powerful heavy tank was intended to terrify the Western Allies. A steel colossus weighing over 45 tons possessed highly inclined armor plates that made it easier for shells to ricochet. It was equipped with the 122mm D-25T gun known from the IS-2 tank. Despite its impressive weight, the IS-3 was relatively mobile thanks to its W-11 diesel engine.

The IS-3 block tank was designed in a scale of 1:28 and imitates the extremely characteristic rounded shapes of its inspiration. The model, consisting of over 1,100 elements, is 35.5cm long when built. Under the removable turret there are accurately reproduced interior elements. A brick replica of the W-11 tank engine can be placed under the service hatch. There are also bricks with periscopes printed on the turret. The very difficult shapes of the tank have been reproduced using the latest elements created for the COBI Historical Collection! The tracks work while moving the tank and the turret also rotates and the barrel raises and lowers! The set includes a figure of a Soviet tank driver in a characteristic navy-blue suit.

The real IS-3 tank was created as a response to German heavy tanks. The block model will look great on a shelf alongside the largest German and American vehicles from the COBI Historical Collection! Build history, piece by piece, with COBI.
