Build a model of the German battleship Tirpitz from World War II in a scale of 1:300. The assembled model measures 87 cm in length and 21.5 cm in height. The model has a number of moving elements, such as rotating gun turrets with adjustable gun elevation, a removable deck cover with access to the engine room, and rotating propellers and rudders. The model can be placed in the included stand with description. COBI building kits manufactured in the EU are fully compatible with LEGO building kits. Tirpitz was a Bismarck-class battleship of the German Kriegsmarine. Named after German Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, it was the largest battleship in the world until the arrival of the Japanese battleships Yamato and Musashi. The colossus, with a displacement of 50,000 tons, carried eight 380 mm naval guns as its main armament. Tirpitz, after the unfortunate fate of her sister ship Bismarck (sunk by the British on her first Atlantic campaign), withdrew to the Norwegian fjords and by her mere existence tied down a significant British naval force to protect convoys to Murmansk. The British eventually managed to sink the ship by air attack while the ship was already permanently anchored off Tromso, Norway.
