T-72 (Soviet Union / DDR)

Using COBI construction blocks you can build a main battle tank from the times of the Warsaw Pact, when Europe was divided by the Iron Curtain! The T-72 M1 tank set includes a double set of markings for East Germany and the USSR. East Germany purchased over 500 tanks of this type from the USSR, Poland and Czechoslovakia. After German reunification in the 1990s, the tanks were withdrawn from service. In the USSR, the tank entered service in 1971. Thanks to numerous modifications the tank is still in use in modern Russia.

The block model was reproduced on the fantastic scale of 1:35 using 680 elements. The size of the tank matches the rest of the land vehicles issued as part of the Armed Forces collection. The model includes moving elements like wheels, tracks, a rotating turret and a movable cannon. The hatch in the turret opens for the included figure of a German tank driver.
