Due to public demand, the popular Tiger 131 Cobi model in 1/28 has received an overhaul.
Upgraded with more bricks, featuring an authentic colour, improved interior detail, and new design and construction of the chassis and wheel, this incredible 1270-piece kit will enhance the Tiger fan’s model collection.
Chief Operating Officer, Simon Prager, said, “Every purchase of this incredible model helps The Tank Museum preserve Tiger 131 and will ensure that this important piece of military history can be showcased for future generations.”
The Tiger I is one of the most famous tank of the Second World War.
The impenetrable armour, powerful gun and huge size of the Tiger made it a legend in its time. It struck terror into the hearts of Allied tank crews when it first appeared in 1942. The armour was 100mm thick at the front, making it impervious to Allied guns. Yet a shot from the 88mm gun could penetrate 100mm armour at ranges of up to 1,000 metres.
Tiger 131 is the world’s only running Tiger I tank. It was captured on 24th April 1943 on Point 174 on the way between Medjez el Bab and Montarnaud in Tunisia, by 142nd Battalion RAC and 2nd Sherwood Foresters.
The first 200 orders will receive a numbered, limited-edition ingot from Cobi. Pre-orders from The Tank Museum will receive their kit 2 weeks before anyone else!
