This is same set Cobi JagdTiger 1/48 model. Same size and Same hull building. but Color and Turret design are different. I wasn't bored to build even though almost same because I felt this is big difference about camouflage pattern.

Because of unstable connection between Gun mantlet and Turret, I had to put them by glue. but if you won't play, you don't have to do like me.

I chose 1/48 instead 1/28 or 1/35 because they have ugly face on front(or some angle). Appearance of 1/48 is pretty enough. I think 1 or 2 stud diagonal brick make it more like real Konigstiger on 1/48 scale.

Track and all wheels are rolling very smooth. Oh, you should not confuse suspension brick C and D. If you do, it doesn't roll well.

Remake of an old one

Two Tiger 1s, one is early(TK2) other is late(12GO) production. Both Tigers are command tanks and represent two tigers that were used by Hauptsturmfuhrer Michael Wittman.
I thought about writing one VS. other review, but;
TK2 is showcase of what can be done with bricks: great quality, model that is stable when finished, excellent details of exterior and interior, makes TK Tiger a superb set.
So, turned out to be a appreciation post for the 12GO: One excelent set, that looks better live than on photos, and it has that brick tank charm. This set was pure joy and fun to build! Good build technics, and instructions make the build feel fluid. I ordered this Tiger after i finished TK2, and im plesantly surprised with quality and how it looks when finished. This set is a must-have for any collector!
12GO 9.5/10
TK2 10/10

took inspiration from an extremly niche Russian empire tank concept the rybinsk not to confuse with the mandelev

This is so tiny tank set. Almost Lego Speed Champion : ) but it is little bit harder to build than look. There is no other interior and Hatch doesn't open. but it's very stable to build and toy. Track is rolling well even on smooth surface. I impressed all bogie wheels are rolling. beside, this is tiny set but appearance is well and looks more like real Jagdtiger. Oh, You should not confuse Suspension G and H. If you do, it doesn't roll well.

I've tried to make japanese Type 90 MBT from Cobi bricks. This tank is made on Cobi's T-72M1R's chassis. It wasn't easy to mod this suspension to hydraulic standard, but reminder like modernizing T-72's hull to Type 90's standard or making turret wasn't so difficult. (On last photo, on left, it's Typ 92 cavalary tank) Model is made fully in scale 1:35 (Type 92 too). 100% cobi. What do you think about him?
