Vickers A1E1 Independent Tank: Multi-Turret Set by Cobi

Rare and singular, the Vickers A1E1 INDEPENDENT is a British prototype heavy tank from the interwar era. Only one exists, showcased as a 'star' at The Tank Museum in the UK. Its distinctive feature is a multi-turret design, boasting five rotating towers, the largest armed with a 3-pounder cannon, and the rest equipped with Vickers machine guns. Commissioned by the British Army in 1924, a prototype was displayed in 1926, but lack of funds halted further development. Design elements were later used in the British Medium Mark III and Cruiser Mark I, and even influenced Soviet tanks like the T-28, T-35, and T-100. Build this historical prototype tank using 887 COBI blocks, designed in collaboration with The Tank Museum in 1:35 scale. Notable for its details, durability, and specialized elements, this model continues a series of museum exhibits in block form. Experienced builders may also recreate Soviet multi-turret tanks. The set includes a British tanker figure and a plate with the set name and The Tank Museum logo. A perfect gift for collectors, history enthusiasts, and COBI block newcomers.
