COBI 2286 – StuG III Ausf. F/8 – Flammpanzer (Speed Build Review)
Even if this new model from COBI is only 1:35 scale, numerous details have been accommodated and this with high stability.

Even though the Executive Edition is a whopping 20 EUR more expensive, it looks a lot better than the basic version with the camouflage colors and the unique, large stand.
A new version of the IS-2 was long overdue, even if the standard version seems a bit incomplete. However, this is a consequence of COBI’s new Limited Edition policy.
This model is offered in various country-specific versions, some of which differ in color and some only differ in national insignia. The latter could certainly have been combined in one set.
A US plane in Soviet service looks a little strange, but here too COBI uses a historical background. Thanks to land leases, the Red Army received a lot of western material.
COBI has outdone itself here again. With a wingspan of almost 70cm, the B-24 even surpasses the B-17 by a few centimetres. But the model also has a lot to offer on a small scale.
There were significant improvements in this new edition. The predecessor is also getting on in years and dates back to the time when COBI made excessive use of stickers.
It’s been a long time since COBI launched a Soviet aircraft model. But there is an extra large model with this flying tank.
Once again COBI has launched a remake of a well-known fighter plane. It could have been something new. After all, this time there was not just a minimal facelift.
With this set I once again treated myself to the Limited Edition. The oversized, slanted side skirts were worth the surcharge, especially since the normal version even comes without figures.
With Battle of Arras, COBI has designed a small diorama in which the two tanks Matilda II and Panzer 38 (t) face each other in front of a small ruin.
It’s been a few years since the last real COBI tank destroyer. A lot of effort was put into the new Jagdpanther and not skimped on many small details.
