Building set Cobi IS-2 model, World War II tank, 130 pieces, recommended age 6+

Cobi IS-2 model is a 1:72 scale building set representing the World War II IS-2 heavy tank. The kit contains 130 pieces in primarily green colour and is recommended for builders aged 6 and older. The assembled model measures approximately 12 cm in length, reproduces key visual features of the historic vehicle and includes printed markings and white side stripes that reference participation in the Berlin operation. The turret rotates and the main barrel moves up and down, making the model suitable both for static display and light play. The set is compatible with other brick systems of similar size and supports the development of fine motor skills and historical interest.

Advantages

The model delivers an accurate compact replica of the IS-2 tank with movable turret and elevating barrel in a small 130-piece set. Its printed markings and period-accurate details give collectors and young builders an authentic visual result while keeping the build time accessible. Compatibility with other brick systems increases creative options, and the compact finished size makes the model easy to store or display on a shelf or desk.

How to use

Follow the included assembly instructions to build the IS-2 model step by step. Start by sorting pieces by shape and colour to simplify the build, then connect subassemblies and join them into the complete tank. After construction, rotate the turret and adjust the barrel angle to display different poses. The model can be placed on a shelf, desk or in a display case; handle moving parts carefully to avoid undue stress on small elements.

Usage recommendations

Use on a flat, stable surface during assembly and store assembled models away from direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve printed elements and piece fit. Supervise younger children during building and keep small parts out of reach of very young children. Combine with other compatible COBI sets to expand dioramas or add detail to displays.
