The licensed Willys Jeep was released as an advanced 1:12 scale model and fits perfectly into the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy! Due to their reliability and mobility, some of these vehicles were used to evacuate the wounded and transport medics. They were distinguished by their lack of weapons and a large red cross painted on the hood of the vehicle. The world's most popular off-roader was carefully designed using COBI construction blocks and consists of 1,131 elements. Completely new elements with details reflecting the appearance of the historic car were created especially for this set. The huge block Willys MB has a characteristic grill and hood, realistic turning wheels, a working steering wheel, interior details and a block-built engine. The wheels with rubber tires rotate and turn and can be moved while playing. The blocks also have high-quality prints with historical vehicle markings. The set perfectly complements our very rich Historical Collection WWII series! Build history, piece by piece, with COBI.
