Panzer 38 (T) Matilda Cobi Building Blocks Historical 2284

Translate to English:
A unique collection in the form of a block diorama, with which you can build the story, piece by piece! Prepared in collaboration with two world-class museums of armored weapons, the set includes two historical models as well as elements from the environment and extra accessories.

Under the designation Panzer 38(t), the Czech light tank LT vz was produced until 1942. The 38ts was used by the German army after the occupation of Czechoslovakia. The Panzer 38(t) tank was developed in a 1:35 scale based on a museum specimen that can be admired at the Deutsches Panzermuseum Munster. On the other hand, Matilda II is a famous British infantry tank that was used on various fronts throughout the period of World War II. This model is also carefully designed in a 1:35 scale, and its appearance directly references the museum exhibit located at The Tank Museum (UK).

Symbolically, we combined two models of famous tanks in the scene from the Battle of Arras, fought on May 21, 1940 during the French campaign. It was then that Matilda II tanks had the opportunity to confront German units equipped with, among others, Panzer 38(t) tanks. The Allied counteroffensive at Arras provided valuable time to prepare the evacuation of troops to Great Britain under Operation Dynamo in Dunkirk.

Tanks and elements in the diorama in the form of fragments of buildings, lamps, and two signs pointing to Arras and Dunkirk, recreate historical events that had a major impact on the course of World War II. The models have movable tracks, and the tank turrets can be rotated. There are only durable prints on the blocks, no stickers!

The set is not only a treat for collectors, a great history lesson, and many hours of fun building a diorama but also a fantastic way to start your adventure with Polish COBI construction blocks. The Battle of Arras also completes the collection of vehicles released in a 1:35 scale as part of the Historical Collection, World War II.
