Top Gun
Bricks: Top Gun. Explore our building blocks offers.
Few film series have made fighter aircraft as recognizable as Top Gun. The F-14 Tomcat became closely associated with Maverick and the original 1986 movie, while Top Gun: Maverick introduced a new generation of viewers to carrier aviation and modern combat aircraft. The COBI Top Gun collection takes these screen appearances and turns them into brick-built models that can be assembled, displayed and collected.
The selection covers more than one version of the same aircraft. The range includes the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, F14A Tomcat, P-51D Mustang and the fictional MiG-28, with selected models also available in a compact 1:300 scale. This makes it possible to choose a set according to the preferred size, subject or purpose of the model.
From the F-14 Tomcat to the P-51D Mustang
The F-14 Tomcat is naturally one of the main attractions in the collection. Its variable-sweep wings, two-engine layout and distinctive nose give the aircraft a silhouette that is recognizable, even to people who are not aircraft enthusiasts. COBI offers several versions of the Tomcat, including larger construction sets and a smaller 1:300 model.
The P-51D Mustang adds a completely different aircraft to the range. Unlike jet fighters associated with the Top Gun training sequences, the Mustang represents an earlier era of aviation. Its inclusion is also closely connected with Top Gun: Maverick, making it an interesting choice for collectors who want something different from a modern fighter jet.
Another distinctive model is the MiG-28. The aircraft is fictional, but its presence in the original Top Gun is one of the reasons it remains familiar to fans of the movie. COBI offers it both as a standard model and in a smaller 1:300 version.
A collection built around the Top Gun universe
The category is not limited to aircraft. The Top Gun Aircraft Carrier provides a much larger centerpiece for a display, while the Top Gun Logo offers a different way to reference the franchise without building another plane. The Enemy Strike Jet completes the selection with a model inspired by the opposing aircraft seen in Top Gun: Maverick.
A builder can concentrate on individual aircraft, combine models from different films or create a broader Top Gun-themed display. Smaller sets can also work well when shelf space is limited, while the larger models have a stronger presence as standalone pieces. The appeal lies in turning familiar aircraft from the screen into physical models assembled from COBI bricks.

For many aviation fans, the appeal extends beyond the movies themselves. The Top Gun franchise introduced generations of viewers to military aviation and helped spark interest in fighter aircraft, naval aviation, and aerospace technology.
