Hey guys which one should I build and review first ? I need some help !

For 883g the kitten who wants to be a Tiger.

Before Yesterday was the Longest Day, as I am making this review. D Day anniversary, I made my photoshoot of the 12GO KING TIGER for my review while watching the Longest Day movie on the 06/06/2026. Ahh as a french, Sainte Mère l'église, I have been there as Omaha and Utah and Pointe du Hoc.

I have done it just after the TKTWO one. Difficult to come back after a great adrenaline and happiness build rush with TKTWO. 12GO's Brick quality is almost the same when you touch as COBI. TKT2 Bricks feel more solid more plain. 12 GO TIGER 2 is very similar to the COBI STYLE and feeling. This one stands very well next to COBI JAGDTIGER LE. It's kind of same style, even with molded parts. It's funny cause all those bricks smell kinda like flower perfume.

After TKTWO KÖNIGSTIGER, 12GO felt like more of a lil' kitten trying to roar, hey I am a Tiger 2 also !

I Strongly advice to have decals to custom it. 1/35 ones suit well. I did not use the balkenkreuz stickers.

I have used my decals, but screwed ones while I was making number 212. I ended up with a maybe fictionnal big number 002.

Bought the model from my best store I have found on Aliexpress (no problems for missing parts and a real man answering you).

Let's go first for the Cons :

- Instructions manual is very Dark, not easy with brown and green.

- Too many hinges and litle pieces to make the Camo more dynamic, seems like 12 GO are telling themselve we can do better than COBI so let the build become more technical and complicated (hinges work better on a blocky design aka 12 GO WITTMANN'S Winter TIGER Camo, and hereh there are lot of them).

- It feels a bit clunky.

- Front glacis is attached on the upper hull but not on the lower, I have sort it using two rounded pieces to keep it locked.

- No towing hooks and front mudguards are not really stable (customized that part).

- Rear armored plate is strange..but okay.

-Sprue marks as some COBI pieces but worst, injection molding points on custom panels (turret, mudguards).

-Glue needed on wonky parts of front glacis, turret panels side and their four litle anchoring points.

-Too many pieces for side skirts.

-Changed episcopes.

-Some bricky gaps and junctions.

-Turret's rear and its size is a bit too small (trick to have spare tracks fitting, better on Quaguan and TKTWO). Adjust towing cables directly on the tank.

-Gun barrel moving is limited

Due to its conception inside.

Now for the pros :

- lot of spare parts, I have used them to tweak camo and having more green on side skirts, rear upper hull and the turret, and less dunkelgelb.

-Tweaks to add more tracks’spare links on the turret (and one More on the rear turret part after my photo shoot). Added a tow cable on glacis also.

-Tracks roll perfect on smooth surface (work better if you take off one link).

-Nice colors and camo pattern and suspension.

- Rounded slot for turret, three Removable panels to acces interior.

-Nice radio and driver's hatches (thought too close to the manlet).

-Turret's upper machine gun rotates good on its rail (Quaguan concept but better).

-Exquisite minifigures (fit very well).

-PRICE/PLEASURE RATIO.

• Global silouhette satisfying.

• Can pretend to be a Königs with little tweaks.

Not as impresive as the TKTWO KÖNIGSTIGER, not having the presence of the Quanguan (PORSCHE turret snow camo even far from perfect), this litle kitten will grow on you if you accept its' little flaws. For the price 12GO is taking a very nice direction and add to my collection. After it will more of your personnal choice, it is a good to go. TKTWO if you hear me make a KÖNIGSTIGER with winter camo and printed parts and a "Porsche" turret.

See ya soon, and thanks for the read.

Hello all, my time to review TK2 TIGER2 KÖNIGSTIGER, and this Is heavy Doc ! We have an historical vehicule : Panzer VI Ausf.B of the Schwere Panzer Abteilung 505, fall 1944. And an original Camo, it changes from three tone wich I find a bit annoying sometimes particularly within 12GO (their 3 tones pattern is a bit repetitive, they should change dominant color a litle more green for exemple).

I will begin with the negative points :

- One piece as been inverted, I had two left front mudguards (seller going to send me a replacement).

- It's a bit huge but not that schocking comparing with Quanguan Tiger 2 Snow Camo (Still loving her a lot cause Winter Camo) and Cobi JAGDTIGER LE.

Now let us go for the goods and there are a lotta and a whole lotta love :

- No Box for me but a nice litho of the King painted and a bit damaged. Instructions are easier cause as my second TKTWO set, I'm getting used to them (use a good lamp and you good to go).

-1. 15 kg beast (Quanguan is 0.87 kg and COBI JAGDTIGER is only 0.82 kg).

- Nice original camo and pattern,(pad printed parts) lot of bricks, lot of baby steps in the manual and very easy to build. Not a single problem encountered. Even the high number of pieces.

- Zimmerit and good custom molded parts. The build is solid and sturdy to manipulate (Inovation, Lego, Cobi did it and now they are stuck with prices skyrocketting so why others could not ?).

- Tracks even a bit narrow works flawlessly even on smooth surface, and the moving suspension is really nice. Wish I had more spare links (thanks PANTHER).

- Beware of the way you put roadwheels, same on the Panther, which I have corrected while assembling the King (BOTH ROLL PERFECTLY) .

- Silouhette is almost a model kit, God I love those side skirts, the detailled interior, shining golden rounds to be fired, nice red and white colours. Transmission, seats and engine (thought it's white ?).

- Price is really good, found a good store on AliE.

-Nice cardboard boxes to sort of and organise bags of bricks. Lot of left spare parts. Very good hatches open flawlessly.

-That's a beast, a must buy for all Königstiger fan. I love COBI, 12GO, but damn that one, it is so gorgeous, generous. A SHAME that TKTWO is still a bit obscure (website ? Social medias ?).

- We have here a solid and robust kitten here, Best Tiger 2 ! TKTWO set the level very very high.

- I wonder how COBI'S new one wiill be and at what price (One COBI LE is worth almost one TKTWO + one 12GO).TKTWO is improving the game on each release. Maybe they can do a better winter camo " à la " "Wittmann's Snow tiger from 12GO".

- For EU customers on Aliexpress check details and the line CE : Certificat. Less chance that customs steal yours (happened on one of my orders).

Had a Nice day this Is a must !

I have just finished to assemble the Jagdtiger LE from COBI, and I will begin my humble review here.

I will begin with the negative points : - First the Front glacis and the rear of the tank were a pain to connect (structuraly not sturdy enough and falling appart to many times for my taste).

- Lower Hull was boring and erratic to mount, and I had also few missing and inverted parts, I had to tweak (Made a claim to Cobi to have replacements).

- Idler wheel do not align well, kept tracks falling and as not having spacers I had to glue them. (Rushed Porsche suspension ?).

- Driver's and Radio's hatches are meh (hello TKTWO and even 12GO).

- The price... Okay it is Limited Edition.. But well could we have had updates and full interior ?

Let us go now for the good :

- LE with the authentic certificate. Also black plate with LE number.

- Upper structure and casemate was a pleasure to assemble. Removable pannels are good and we have a Nice engine compartment. Casemate interior is Ok.

-Canon moves on all axis (no pun intended).

-Camo is Nice as also the pattern on side skirts. I love also the design and how side skirts are made. (Still new in the hobby). Nice tow cables.

- Porsche suspension.

- Camo foliage, mini diorama, accessories, and five minifigures. I will use them because they do not look so goofy. I love the tank commander.

Beside its flaws I'm happy with this model. I have added decals wich hold well. Also when fixed tracks work really good. And a plus for the letterbox. In the end I'm loving it. (Hey Cobi what about Zimmerit and making à 360° machine gun ?). Have a Nice day.

But I'am loving it !
