Product Information
Full details
The COBI Vickers A1E1 Independent set is designed for history enthusiasts, military model collectors, and brick-building fans who appreciate technical detail and historical accuracy. This 1:35 scale model offers the benefit of a highly detailed, historically significant reproduction of a unique interwar prototype, complete with pad-printed details instead of stickers. One notable caveat is that the 887-piece build requires patience and focus, making it better suited for those who enjoy meticulous construction projects rather than casual play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Building the Vickers A1E1 is a straightforward process thanks to the intuitive manual included in the box. To maintain the model's finish, ensure you are working on a clean, flat surface to avoid losing any of the 887 pieces. The set is fully compatible with other major brands of construction blocks, allowing for modular customization if desired. To care for the finished model, store it in a temperature-controlled, dust-free environment away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and the pad-printed details. If cleaning is necessary, use a soft, dry brush to gently remove dust from the crevices of the five turrets.
