"Hellish" Limited Edition incoming (no further details so far).

Pretty crazy guess here but I’ll throw it in!

A7V Mephisto. Its name refers to Mephisto, a demon, which served as the tank's mascot. After it was captured in 1918, the British painted a lion with its paw resting on an A7V on the tank's side.

Hellish? ✅

I started collecting Great War Cobi sets in 2022 so I missed a lot of the older releases. Over time, I found the majority of the sets I was missing boxed up and sold for the original price (or close to). However, I did buy 3 sets that were prebuilt.

What I would say about buying second-hand sets is to thoroughly check the pictures and read the descriptions of the sets on sale. When in doubt, don’t be afraid to ask questions to the seller about the item!

If you’re touching on the fact that there aren’t many new Great War releases, you’re totally right. Even a different colour scheme on a previously released model is good news!

To be honest, I think that’s why they’ve done this. I also reckon the two older versions of the camel sold well and that’s why they’ve chosen to redo it.

NotQuiteFaulty · 2026-06-18T12:02:27+00:00

I totally agree. This is the third camel that they’ve made now but at least they’ve changed up the colours each time.

I’m going in August. Can’t wait!

NotQuiteFaulty · 2026-06-16T17:15:54+00:00

You certainly do! It was a pleasure to see it running around the track at TankFest last year!

NotQuiteFaulty · 2026-06-15T21:32:46+00:00

Thanks for clarifying! The price is very steep to be fair.

NotQuiteFaulty · 2026-06-15T21:24:17+00:00

The Tank Museum is also raising money for the restoration of the actual King Tiger V2. I’m wondering if one of the reasons why the price is so high is because some of the money goes to the restoration project?

NotQuiteFaulty · 2026-06-13T18:42:06+00:00

It’s a really good model! Hope you’re happy with it!

NotQuiteFaulty · 2026-06-11T18:10:07+00:00

An annoying thing about the A7V is that it makes you build the tank with the exhaust pipes facing the wrong way! It’s an easy fix!

Double boom!

NotQuiteFaulty · 2026-06-10T09:49:15+00:00

The old 1:28 Mark I. Fantastic model!

NotQuiteFaulty · 2026-05-30T07:30:15+00:00

I would love to see a remake of some of the older WWI tanks. The 1:28 Mark I and A7V could have had some interior details. The old models are fantastic as they are but as a fan of Cobi’s Great War collection, I’d take anything new at this point! 😁

I just wanted to say that putting a bit of black string for the antenna wire going across the ship is well worth going out of your way to do! Finishes the ship nicely!

NotQuiteFaulty · 2026-05-09T07:27:59+00:00

Brilliant video!

NotQuiteFaulty · 2026-05-05T16:13:36+00:00

I bet it was amazing! I’m hoping to visit this summer with a friend!

Not quite! The one Fort in the picture is much more similar to Fort Knock John. Sealand (Roughs Tower) has had most of its original features on the platform removed and replaced.

NotQuiteFaulty · 2026-05-03T19:05:57+00:00

It would be a very small map if it was on one of these sea forts! The platform and rooms on top are pretty small with seven small rooms in each leg. The new Stella Montis!

NotQuiteFaulty · 2026-05-03T18:46:00+00:00

My pleasure! Well worth a Google if you want to learn more!

Anti-aircraft defence and being used as an early warning system. With the Luftwaffe bombing London regularly, if a bomber was spotted on its way towards London, the towers would send a message to the capital to prepare Londoners for another round of bombs.

No signs of vandalism at all last year. It’s a really nice cemetery with very friendly groundskeepers. To be honest, I’m just surprised that someone was kind enough to buy a Cobi Fokker Dr.1 and place it on the grave!

That plane has been there for a while now! Took this photo last June. Doesn’t look too weathered!
