Executive Edition Battleship Tirpitz - COBI 4838 - 2960 Bricks

The Tirpitz, a formidable German battleship of WWII, was launched on April 1, 1939. Serving as the counterpart to the famed battleship "Bismarck," it stood as the pinnacle of the Kriegsmarine's might from 1941 to 1944. Achieving combat readiness in September 1941, it met its demise on November 12, 1944, near the Norwegian city of Tromsø, under attack from the British Air Force.

The EXECUTIVE EDITION of the Battleship Tirpitz features an exclusive addition: a figure of a German radio operator equipped with the renowned ENIGMA encryption machine. Complementing this, the set comprises two sleek black descriptive plates detailing the ship's name and key historical facts, elegantly mounted on a block display stand.

The ship model is 1:300 scale, comprising nearly 3,000 parts and stretching 87cm in length. Utilising advanced construction techniques, this model faithfully captures the proportions and intricate details of the original vessel, including its distinctive camouflage pattern. Notably, it boasts numerous movable parts such as propellers, rudders, rotating turrets, and adjustable gun barrels. The accompanying black display stand, adorned with the ship's name, ensures both stability and aesthetic appeal.

Given its size and complexity, this model is recommended primarily for seasoned collectors and experienced enthusiasts of brick-built constructions. Notably, no gluing or painting is required, as the entire hull and components are comprised of COBI bricks.
