Building set COBI Kübelwagen Typ 82 1326 pieces World War II

The COBI Kübelwagen Typ 82 building set recreates the iconic German World War II off-road vehicle in a large 1:12 scale model made from 1,326 construction blocks. Designed using a museum example from the Deutsches Panzermuseum Munster, the set features a detailed interior and realistic exterior proportions. When assembled the model measures 30.5 cm in length and includes opening doors, access to the trunk and engine compartment, movable steering-linked wheels, and numerous custom elements developed for this large-format kit.

Advantages

This COBI set provides high fidelity to the original Kübelwagen with carefully reproduced interior details such as the steering wheel, seats, knobs and switches, plus an accurately modelled engine compartment with tools. The 1:12 scale and the number of pieces allow for greater photorealism and precision than smaller models, while exclusive parts and moving mechanisms increase playability and display value. The model was developed in cooperation with the Deutsches Panzermuseum Munster, ensuring historical reference and design authenticity.

• Collectors of military models and historical vehicles
