COBI Historical Collection WWII Soviet T-34-85 Medium Tank T-34 Model Building Block Set # 2542

The T-34-85 was a Soviet medium tank produced between 1941 and 1958. During

World War II it was the primary vehicle of Soviet armored forces. Due to its

great simplicity it was very easy to manufacture, use and repair. Many

historians believe that the T-34-85 was instrumental in the Allied victory.

The vehicle was used by dozens of countries for many years after the end of

the war. A classic subject for COBI, the T-34 has undergone revolutionary

changes in its latest version. The use of 668 blocks made it possible to

accurately reproduce the body of the vehicle. Smaller tracks were used, the

hull was narrowed and the frontal wall of the armor was smoothed. The turret,

cannon design and fenders have also been modified. Under the service flap

there is an attractive-looking brick-built motor. The model has working

treads, a rotating turret, a moving gun and an opening compartment. The set

includes blocks with Soviet and Polish markings to choose from. The set is

complemented by a tanker figure equipped with a personal pistol and a new type

of helmet. The easy-to-read manual contains a list of blocks and statistics

that you can use in the free COBI Historical Battle Game. This new set makes a

great gift idea regardless of the age of the giftee. It is also a great start

to your adventure with Polish COBI building blocks. Additionally, the T-34 is

a mandatory vehicle for the construction of dioramas recreating the Eastern

Front.
