COBI Historical Collection World War II P-47 Thunderbolt™ Plane

I own several Cobi sets, primarily WWII planes. As usual, parts are high quality and fit well with very nice looking prints.. This is definitely one of the more cleverly constructed sets though. Nothing required an unusual amount of dexterity and the wing configuration was way sturdier than other Cobi models (I'm looking at you, F4F). Was very enjoyable to put together. Looks great on display.Still haven't had any missing parts from any Cobi sets. Only gripe is with the chosen livery. If they made another version I'd buy it in an instant.

My grandson loves it

I have been anxiously awaiting a Cobi Brick version of the P-47 Thunderbolt for a while. I was slightly disappointed in the livery and version Cobi chose to depict, but I purchased this version nonetheless. The completed model is easily 1/32 scale as the packaging describes. (Compared to an actual completed 1/32 scale Tamiya model kit, the dimensions are nearly identical!)This is definitely one of the largest single-engine model kits Cobi has issued! The build was challenging. If you are used to the simplistic step-based directions included with most Lego brick kits, you may be confused by the directions included with Cobi kits. This P-47 kit is no exception. Several times, I used the wrong color of brick in an early step, only to realize my mistake several pages/steps later and either backtrack or use another brick from my spares box to complete the assembly.The completed model looks amazing! I continue to be astounded by the ability of the folks at Cobi to engineer brick kits that strongly resemble scale aircraft models! The only improvements I could want would be tighter direction booklets, and more realistic-looking mini figures for the cockpits! (Maybe take a page out of Mega Construx mini figure design.)

Comme j'ai fait il y a peu de temps un commentaire au vitriol sur le Messerschmitt BF109 je vais équilibrer les choses en donnant un 5 sur 5 au P 40 Thunderbolt. Très beau modèle de taille impressionnante. Montage rapide et sans difficultés. Pour une fois pas de pièces manquantes au final un avion aussi solide que dans la réalité, qualité que j'avais déjà pu constaté avec le F4U Corsair. Donc bon point pour COBI et au rythme où j'avance je vais bientôt avoir acheté toue la gamme des chasseurs WW2 au 1/32. Les bombardiers étant dans une autre échelle je ne suis pas sûr que cela soit cohérent pour une présentation d'ensemble en exposition.

per curiosità ho voluto provare questo set.Pro:modelli di apparecchi di guerra che la Lego non tratta.Eccellente riproduzioneMateriale e precisione quasi come Lego, ma eventuali scarti e tolleranze non inficiano sulla resa.Rapporto qualità/prezzo.Contro:le istruzioni a mio avviso potevano essere fatte megliointere parti dell'aereo sono ad unica sezione: se da un lato la costruzione è semplificata, si perde la magia del Lego che con gli stessi pezzi messi al posto giusto danno più soddisfazione.Ovviamente NON è un Lego!

Another great set from Cobi to put together I have really enjoyed this one and am really impressed with the size of the model the P47 is one of my favourite aircraft from ww2 I highly recommended this kit to everyone

Absolut zu empfehlen! Der Aufbau hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht und das Flugzeug sieht klasse aus wenn es fertig ist.

The COBI P-47 Thunderbolt model is an incredible addition to any collector's shelf, offering a satisfying building experience with high-quality, durable bricks. The attention to detail and accurate design make it a must-have for aviation enthusiasts!
