Troubleshooting
Tracks are sticking or not moving smoothly
Ensure all track links are snapped together evenly and verify that no stray blocks or debris are caught in the sprockets.
Turret rotation feels loose
Check the center connection pin to ensure it is fully seated and the surrounding base plates are pressed down firmly.
Missing pieces during assembly
Double-check your packaging and workspace carefully; if confirmed missing, contact COBI support with your set number (COBI-2279).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Construction follows standard building block procedures. Sort your pieces by size and type before beginning to ensure a smooth assembly process. This set is fully compatible with all major building block brands, allowing you to integrate parts or terrain features as you see fit.
For care, avoid exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent plastic discoloration. If the model accumulates dust, use a soft-bristled brush or compressed air to clean the crevices of the caterpillar tracks and the turret assembly. Ensure the set is built on a flat, stable surface and keep it away from small children to prevent potential choking hazards.
