COBI World of Tanks Tiger 1 Review of set 3000 B.
I bought this iconic German Tiger tank as a companion to my other German tanks including the Tiger 131, Panzer IV, Panther Tank and the King Tiger Tank.
If you follow this website, you’ll know that I love building Lego tanks and Cobi makes the absolute best Lego compatible tanks around.
The unique Cobi tank track system as well as their cool and historically accurate designs make these really great functional toys and collector items.
Check out my Cobi Tiger 2 Tank Review and my Quan Guan Tiger 131 Tank Review for other awesome Lego tanks.

German Tiger Tank
Work on the design of the German Tiger I Tank began in 1937, just before world War II. During the roughly two years that the vehicle was in production, only 1, 347 were built – a number that is lower than the monthly production figures for the M4 Sherman and Soviet T-34 at the height of the war.
The first models appeared on the battlefields around 1942. The vehicle was very highly rated by both the crew and its opponents. Although, after August 1944, production of the Tiger I was phased out in favor of the Tiger II. Today, only seven Tiger I tanks survive in museums and private collections worldwide.

This set comes with 545 pieces and 1 mini figure. I love the grey color compared to the desert tan of the Tiger 131.
COBI World of Tanks Tiger 1 Features
This is a really cool tank and is a slightly different design than the Tiger 131.
The turret fully rotates 360 degrees and the main gun moves up and down.
On top of the turret there are 2 hatches that open and close for mini figures. The commanders hatch has a cupola, something the Tiger 131 lacks.
At the front, there is a hull mounted custom molded machine gun. On top of the hull there are 2 hatches that open and close, and can fit mini figures.
At the back, there is an engine hatch that opens and closes.
Finally, the tank tracks are superb. They are the usual high quality Cobi tracks that I rave about on this website.
There is also extra stickers if you want to use them.
Overall this tank is an excellent addition to my German armored forces.
