Building set Cobi Volkswagen T3 fire department COBI-24635, 238 pieces, for ages 7+

The Cobi Volkswagen T3 fire department building set (238 pieces) recreates a classic emergency vehicle in 1:35 scale. Designed for builders aged 7 and up, the set includes multicoloured bricks to assemble a detailed Volkswagen T3 firefighting van, a small diorama with a burning house scene, one firefighter figure with accessories and a kitten figure. The model reflects the silhouette and functional features of the historical Transporter T3 used by German fire services, offering both a display-quality replica and a playable toy for imaginative rescue scenarios.

Advantages

This building set contains 238 precisely moulded bricks to achieve authentic body lines and proportions, while maintaining durable construction for repeated play and display. The 1:35 scale preserves the vehicle’s characteristic shapes and ensures compatibility with other models in the COBI collection. The kit includes a firefighter figure with a hose, axe and ladder plus a kitten element, and provides clear, illustrated instructions intended to be accessible for beginner builders. Components are manufactured to meet relevant safety standards and are compatible with many other construction block brands.

How to use

Open the box and verify the included parts against the illustrated inventory. Follow the step-by-step illustrated instructions to assemble the vehicle first or build the diorama elements as described; the order can be adapted to personal preference. Attach small accessories such as the warning lights and equipment to the finished vehicle and position the firefighter and kitten figures within the scene. Use a clean, flat surface for construction and keep small parts away from children under three years due to choking risk.

Usage recommendations

For best results, build on a well-lit surface and separate similar-coloured bricks into small containers before assembly. Store completed models on a stable shelf to avoid dust and accidental damage; spare parts and additional COBI sets can be combined to expand the diorama or create larger rescue scenarios.
