Description

The Pz.Kpfw. VI "Tiger" number 114 located in the Musée des Blindés in Saumur, France, is one of the most valuable exhibits of this museum. Tiger tanks were among the most famous and dangerous armored machines used by Germany during World War II. They were known for their powerful armament, especially the 88mm gun, and the thick, well-sloped armored shield. This particular example, marked with the number 114, is one of the few preserved in the world, which makes it extremely valuable both historically and technologically. This tank took part in combat on the Eastern Front and was later captured by Allied forces. In the Saumur Museum it is carefully preserved, and visitors can admire it in one of the hangars, where other historic armored vehicles are also displayed.

The new Tiger with the side number "114" has outclassed its 1:12th predecessor with the number "131". The new Tiger has a completely new camouflage, which will please every fan of the Panzerwaffe. Why? It is universal, so it will fit perfectly into the realities of the 1944 front in the east, west or south. The new tank has an improved chassis and running gear, as well. This is not only about new wheels, designed especially for this set, but also about replacing the torsion bars, which are now more durable and resistant to the weight of this giant. We have also introduced a lot of smaller and larger changes characteristic of the late E version. The best example is the change to the commander's hatch. It is smaller and at its side there is an MG34 machine gun, designed for anti-aircraft purposes.

With 8,000 elements and considerable dimensions, this set is in a class of its own. When assembled, the Tiger 114 is almost 70 cm long and weighs almost 6 kilograms. This impressive result is not all, either. The new standard is set by a carefully reproduced interior, excellent exterior design, completely new elements and great functionality. The interior of the tank is meticulously reproduced in every corner, from the ammunition compartment to the main gun, knobs, switches and even the incredibly photorealistic engine. The Maybach HL230 engine itself has been reproduced to the smallest detail from 300 elements and could be released as a separate set. Just let us remind you that some planes from the Historical Collection series have 300 elements, and in our new Tiger you will build the engine alone from this many blocks! The exterior also raises the bar in terms of accuracy of proportions and details, which only a set of this size can provide. The set also contains many completely new and movable elements. These include the rotating turret, movable gun and opening hatches. The wheels and tracks work exactly as in the original museum model! Although we have done similar things for other tanks at COBI (especially in 1:28 scale), the Tiger "114" together with its predecessor with the number "131" represents a new level of design, photorealism and impressive size and precision.

Needless to say, this is another milestone for us at COBI. The set we are happy to announce was developed in cooperation with the Musée des Blindés in Saumur. We hope that both collectors and COBI fans will have as much fun building and displaying the "114" as we did designing and creating it. For all those who love tanks, military technology and history, this is an opportunity to bring home a BIG piece of military lore. Build history yourself, piece by piece, with COBI.
