Building blocks Cobi Sd.Kfz. 9/1 Famo — World War II model, 498 pieces, multicolour

Cobi Sd.Kfz. 9/1 Famo — World War II model, 498 pieces, multicolour is a brick-built scale replica of the German Sd.Kfz. 9/1 heavy recovery tractor in 1:35 scale. The set contains 498 multicolour pieces and recreates characteristic details of the original vehicle, including working caterpillar traction, rotating wheels, a rotating crane with a movable arm, extendable supports and a hook for lifting a block engine. The kit includes a minifigure of a mechanic with pliers and a display nameplate. All graphic elements are printed with high-quality detail, making the model suitable for assembly, display and educational reference to historical military engineering vehicles.

Advantages

This Cobi set combines a high piece count with detailed printed elements and multiple moving functions, providing both display quality and hands-on building experience. The 1:35 scale matches standard figure sizes for modular dioramas and collectors, while the working tracks, rotating crane and extendable supports increase playability and realistic presentation. Multicolour parts simplify assembly by clearly distinguishing components during construction.

Suitable for

• Model builders and collectors of historical military vehicles
• Hobbyists creating dioramas or scale displays in 1:35 scale
• Educational demonstrations of WWII engineering and vehicle mechanics
