I hope they are still changing the front of the C47. Looks like they have used a Boeing cockpit (maybe they have to develop the right one). Compared to the real ones, there are clear differences:

Yeah, it would be a real blow to the nose if it stayed that way
It doesn't even look remotely like it, so my guess is it is still in development
Good news here is that they are back on track with bringing out airplanes..... Hope we don't have to wait that long for other plane models, maybe Q4?

Just got my new Sd.Kfz. 184 Panzerjäger Tiger "Ferdinand":
Impressive! Stock almost perfect, but I made a few modifications.
Longer gun barrel, Rohrwiege (don´t know the english word), new crew, MG 34 for commander, camo plants, coloured road wheels, antenna, stickers...
I like the new style of building, it is very different to the old models. To sum up: Excellent work on this tank again COBI, thank you very much!
Also finished my Sd.Kfz. 171 Panzerkampfwagen V Panther Ausf. G (COBI 3012) MOC.
Actually it is a complete rebuild, mainly used manual intructruction of COBI 2511 for the chassis (Panther Ausf. A, winter camo). The tower is modified just a little bit. Spend hours to complete this...
I had to improvise with some parts, but I like the result.
Can´t wait for the new Hornisse/Nashorn to release!

So...how about that neat new Cobi Firefly? I think that's probably one of the best looking Sherman tank hulls I've seen yet. Also, it's nice that it's a dedicated Firefly set again so I don't have to remove the bow machine gun from the model

New Cobi catalogue Q4
For WW2 nothing we haven't seen already on Facebook accept for that Nashorn ( which looks very good) and another light grey Blitz in the ol'oversized look
Not a single new plane.... Big dissappointment if you ask me
This year was the cheapest Cobi year yet for me..... I only bought a couple of me262's and some older models from the years before

I think that's probably one of the best looking Sherman tank hulls I've seen yet. Yes i think so too... Now that i found out that Q4 is not really to my liking and that i created more display space i was thinking of giving my Cobi German Ardennes collection their well deserved opponent; US vehicles and tanks, for i have not any..... I was always eyeballing them but put my priorities in collecting Germans first and the adversary maybe later Now that the latest US stuff is really looking good, i just might..... Always had plans in some great Cobi Ardennes dio's.... Maybe first a Skorzeny dio of some disguised german Panthers or stugs with US markings and some jeeps and dodge's in the background Offcourse everything has to be mocced first ;-)

New chassis for panzer III and IV looks awesome, too bad they haven't anounced a new version for these tanks... They need to stop making bullshit vehicles with the new chassis, tanks are our first priority >_> (at least in my case) EDIT: What happened with the new Panzer I?

Perfect, the Sturmpanzer IV and the Nashorn both have all the new gears in tan color, so I'm really looking forward to upgrading my 10+ tanks Afrika Korps MOCs (Panzer I-IV, StuGs) to the new gears ...

Yep, I also noticed that the Panzer I in the new catalogue still has the old box picture ... strange ...
But I strongly disagree that Hummel, Nashorn and Brummbär are "bullshit vehicles", I am really happy that Cobi is creating these vehicles, and I am looking forward to their release.
And I'm pretty sure, after all these "bullshit vehicles" the "normal" tanks will follow aswell
And if you are not patient enough to wait, you can always "moc" one of these vehicles into a "normal" tank. After all, the only new thing you need is the new chassis, and ... well ... we will have that now, don't we
The only thing I question is why Cobi released the WoT "Waffenträger auf Panzer IV" with such an ... erm .... "bullshit" chassis, if they knew a new chassis was in the works ...

I'm totally fine with there not being many new surprises in the latest Cobi catalog. With the veritable fleet that Xingbao is now releasing alongside their modern warfare sets, I'll have enough to keep me busy in the immediate future. If I have any complaints about stuff like the Hummel, Nashorn and Brummbär it'd be that I'd prefer an Italian or Japanese tank or two instead of more German vehicles. You could almost accuse the Cobi designers of being Wehraboos there are so many of them. I DO like the variety though. Especially when we get more tank destroyers and SPGs as opposed to turreted tanks. Also, I love how they're doing more and more post-WWII tanks now. I'm still holding out hope for a tri-color camouflage version of the Leopard I. Otherwise I'll have to buy an extra Twardy or something and try to MOC my own.

Yeah, i just realized that that looks to be the future of moccing Cobi sets; only adjusting colors to a specific taste
I mean, all the latest and upcoming Cobi sets are looking so good that even I ( being a nut for accuracy) can't even think of making it better
Since that marder cobi is really going into a great direction, the new 251, upcoming Jagdtiget, upcoming panzer iv based vehicles, it all looks already perfect and moc wise i almost can't think of any alterations
Shape/scale wise i'm real content with it
I begin to wonder that maybe a reason no planes are coming out lately, that Cobi is really working on them too, and to get rid of that phat Pixar/cartoonish look they up to now have?

The Hummel is on Cobi's website with box art and all Check out that minifigure's face what's include with this set; Even that is going into the right direction If they keep this up i'lll even replace all my replacement lego heads again I like it, finally gives those cobi figs their own identify in a serious way

Great thread! Just browsed through about 12 months of it! I have a number of tanks, planes, and now a submarine. I even ordered directly from the vaunted Kobikowski to the US twice (before he had eBay). I'm really pleased to see Cobi start to work fixing their awful minifig heads - it's such a shame with the quality everywhere else. Really enjoyed the Type VII sub and am excited by the Xingbao warships also referenced. Talan
