Tanks and vehicles

Our company’s military products are replicas of historical models and we clearly distance ourselves from the glorification of war in any way. The models of historical vehicles, ships, airplanes and other subjects we create are made with the utmost dedication to accurate reproduction and attention to detail, and COBI does this in interest of helping to inspire generations of people to learn about history.

A tank collection does not have to be limited to one army or one period. The COBI Armed Forces category takes a broader approach, bringing together tracked tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, wheeled armored vehicles and modern artillery systems. The result is a selection that reflects how different military vehicles are designed for very different tasks.

Among the available models are the M1A2 Abrams, Leopard 1, Challenger 2, K2 Black Panther and several versions of the T-72. The category also includes vehicles such as the KTO Rosomak, Stryker M1126 ICV and BMP-1, alongside systems such as the M142 HIMARS and Panzerhaubitze 2000.

Tanks with distinctive designs

The main attraction of the collection is the opportunity to compare vehicles that come from different design. The American M1A2 Abrams has a very different silhouette from the German Leopard 1 or a British Challenger 2. The South Korean K2 Black Panther adds another modern interpretation of the main battle tank, while the T-72 represents a design family developed in the Soviet Union and widely used across different countries.

These differences are easy to notice in a brick-built model. Turret proportions, hull shape, road wheels and external equipment all contribute to the appearance of the finished vehicle. For collectors it makes possible to create a display where each tank has a clearly defined character rather than looking like another variation of the same machine.

More than main battle tanks

The category also moves beyond traditional tanks. The BMP-1 combines infantry transport with armament, while the Stryker M1126 ICV and KTO Rosomak represent wheeled armored vehicles designed around mobility and troop transport.

Artillery gives the collection another direction. The M142 HIMARS is a mobile rocket artillery system, whereas the Panzerhaubitze 2000 is tracked self-propelled howitzer. They demonstrate that modern armored forces rely on considerably more than tanks alone.

Build a modern armored vehicle collection

The COBI Armed Forces tanks and vehicles category gives builders plenty of freedom when choosing a theme. A collection can be built around main battle tanks, NATO vehicles, Eastern European designs or a mixture of different military platforms.

With tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored transports and artillery represented in one place, this is a category for builders who want more than a single type of military vehicle. It offers a practical way to compare different approaches to modern armored warfare while creating a collection with plenty of visual variety.
