COBI Historical Collection World War II M26 Pershing (T26E3) Tank Building Set, 904 Pieces

Modern Pershing tanks that served in the last months of World War II were characterized by high efficiency. Mostly they ended up in General Patton's army, where they did a great job. The production of the tanks began in 1944 and continued until the following year. About 2,200 units were produced. The tank was equipped with armor up to 102mm thick and an effective 90mm M3 cannon. The end of World War II did not mean the end of the service of the Pershing. They went into battle again during the Korean War of 1950-1953. The set has been carefully designed in a 1:28 scale using 904 COBI construction blocks. The model of the tank has movable elements such as: working tracks, rotating wheels, a raised and lowered cannon barrel, a rotating turret, opening hatches and an engine service hatch. The set includes a new tanker figure. The blocks and the figure are covered with high-quality prints that do not wear off during intensive use. The whole set is completed by a plate with the name of the model. Thanks to a simple and intuitive instructions, the set provides an exciting construction experience. A realistic block model will surely attract the attention of not only mature enthusiasts, but also younger fans of blocks, history and military technology. It is the perfect complement to the COBI Historical Collection dedicated to the Second World War.
