Lockheed Martin
Bricks: Lockheed Martin. Explore our building blocks offers.
Lockheed Martin’s name is attached to aircraft that come from very different chapters of military aviation. The COBI collection reflects that history rather well. A builder can move from the twin-boom P-38 Lightning of the Second World War to the F-104 Starfighter, then on to the F-16, F-117, F-22 and F-35. There are also smaller 1:300 scale versions of selected aircraft, as well as the M142 HIMARS, showing that the range extends beyond aviation.
Fighters from different generations
The P-38H Lightning provides an early point of reference. Its twin-engine layout and central cockpit made it unlike many other fighters of its time. Decades later, the F-104 Starfighter pursued a very different goal, with an exceptionally slender fuselage and a design built around high-speed performance.
The F-16 Fighting Falcon occupies another place in this development. COBI offers several versions, including the F-16AM, F-16D and the YF-16 First Flight 1974 model, which refers to the aircraft’s origins. For collectors, having these variants in one category makes it possible to look at the evolution of the Fighting Falcon rather than treating it simply as another modern fighter.
SR-71 Blackbird, F-117 Nighthawk and F-22 Raptor
Some of the most unusual aircraft in the collection are also among the most recognizable. The SR-71 Blackbird is distinguished by its long, dark fuselage and extreme high-altitude, high-speed role. COBI offers the aircraft in a standard version as well as an Executive Edition.
The F-117 Nighthawk takes a completely different approach to aircraft design. Its sharply angled surfaces became one of the most recognizable visual features of an early operational stealth aircraft. The F-22 Raptor represents a later generation, combining with the performance expected from an advanced air-superiority fighter. Each of these models has a distinct character, making the collection particularly varied as a display.
F-35 Lightning II and M142 HIMARS
The modern part of the range is led by the F-35 Lightning II. COBI offers the F-35A and F-35B, including the STOVL version, alongside compact 1:300 scale models. The collection also includes the F-35A “Husarz”, connecting the aircraft with the Polish Air Force.
Not everything here has wings. The M142 HIMARS adds a land-based system to the category and broadens the collection beyond aircraft. Together, these models create a selection that follows several decades of military engineering, from piston-powered fighters to mobile rocket artillery.
FAQ
This category features COBI construction block models inspired by aircraft associated with Lockheed Martin, one of the world's leading aerospace and defense companies. Depending on current availability, the range may include modern fighter aircraft, reconnaissance platforms, and other military aviation projects based on well-known aircraft designs.
Yes. Many models in this category are designed with collectors in mind and include details that reflect the appearance of the original aircraft. Accurate proportions, printed markings, and carefully recreated design features help distinguish these models from standard toy aircraft. Their display-friendly construction makes them suitable for shelves, desks, display cabinets, and aviation-themed collections. Many collectors choose to combine them with other military aircraft from the COBI range to create displays covering different aircraft types.
No. While modern military aircraft are an important part of the range, the category is not limited to contemporary designs. Some models are inspired by aircraft that entered service decades ago and played significant roles in military aviation history. This variety allows builders to explore different generations of aircraft technology, from earlier Cold War designs to advanced modern platforms.
Absolutely. These models are designed to complement other aircraft available in the COBI military range. Builders can display them alongside aircraft from different manufacturers, armed forces, and historical periods. This makes it possible to create aviation displays focused on specific countries, military branches, technological developments, or historical eras.
Many aviation enthusiasts appreciate the distinctive appearance and engineering of Lockheed Martin aircraft. From high-performance fighter jets to specialized reconnaissance platforms, these aircraft represent some of the most recognizable designs in modern military aviation. COBI models have many of the features that make these aircraft unique while providing a satisfying building project. With a variety of sizes, scales, and complexity levels available, the category offers options for both experienced builders and those who are just beginning to explore military aircraft models.
