Casselman ON: COBI WWII

[@naxshack]

It’s been said already, but a very good, and honest review Terry! I totally get what you’re saying. Still a nice brick model! 😎

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Thanks Brian. It is nice. Just not as good as could be.

[@watchfordpilot]

Considering there are lots of compound curves in all of the models, Cobi seem to do really well at making them look very authentic. Great series of reviews!

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Thanks Steve. The failed a little on the look of this one. But still a fun model.

[@davidwhite1864]

A good honest review Terry. Your right its not one of their better efforts. Good but not great. Im sure they will improve it with time.

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

I hope so Dave. Their 1:32 version looks much better, but I don’t yet have it.

[@johnlazar7582]

Those models all look great, considering that they are brick models. However, I do know what you mean, Terry.

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

They are cool models John.

[@huntercoleman460]

Cool Terry.

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Thanks Hunter.

When are you getting a Cobi locomotive
I keep seeing a German locomotive that Cobi makes and im surprised you haven't checked it yet

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Lol. Well Wihann, I have lots of trains now and very little space. As tempting as the Cobi steam loco is, where would I put it??

[@laaity]

@@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks fair point sorry
G im trying to think where one would put it
I would say have it like on display at a station like that 8 class that used to stand at kloof station
Rip
But i think it's a really large model

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@laaity it looks like a nice model. Apparently 1:32. Too small for my large scale layout and too big for my O gauge toy trains.

[@laaity]

@@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks damn
But i must say for me it's tempting to buy
I can't remember it being expensive
But i first need to buy parts for my engine
Wich i finnally found that ships to here

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@laaity nice. 👍

[@stingz4444]

The German crosses on the wing are out of wad ( English saying ) They should run straight these are angled which is wrong

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@stingz4444 oh, you’re right! I failed to notice. It’s the small things that make a difference - even in a non-fine-scale bricks model.

[@timothyboles6457]

Good review, and having seen a real ME262 in person, the block gaps and shapes are a bit of a disappointment on the model there. Its a beautiful aircraft, if not from the wrong side. Both the British and the Americans COULD have had operational jet fighters before the Germans, if not for extremely conservative thinking amongst the high commands of the 2 allied countries

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Indeed! Just look at the Gloster Meteor! I have never seen an Me262 in person. I really want to though. I have seen a Bf109, which is my fav prop plane though.

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Also, thanks Tim. 😊

[@timothyboles6457]

@@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks there was a predecessor to the Meteor, which wasn't exactly meant to be a combat aircraft, I can't remember the name though. It looks pretty small. Alot smaller than the ME262, but bigger than the ME163 rocket fighter

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

@@timothyboles6457 the rocket was interesting. I have seen one of those up close in a museum.

[@associatedblacksheepandmisfits]

Come back saddle! Nice tee 😊

[@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks]

Hehe. Yes. She likes to upstage from the background. 😊
