Another Cobi model was on my christmas wish list this year again. I was happy when I found this Panzer I model under the christmas tree. When building the tank I unfortunately noticed that several parts were missing (yes, I tripple-checked the box and the plastic bags). I completed the tank as far as possible to ID all missing parts, finally 27. As you can see the most important missing parts were several wheels.

I contacted Cobi´s support online and received an automatic response. Hope to get the missing parts soon.

 

 

That’s pretty cool.  

Looks nice. Shame it was missing parts.  Rich A. in Pa.

with all those missing parts, it seems appropriate the tank commander is holding a wrench. He's got some work to do!

Neat kit, Lars!

Drat!  I've got one of those waiting to be built. Hopefully this did not affect all Panzer I kits.

 

I am working on a Cobi Cold War T-72M.

Gil, I don´t think so. I believe there´s one of these plastic bags missing. I hope we´ll see your T-72 when it is done.

Nicely done. It still looks good even with the missing wheel. Hope you get it soon.

 

Semper Fi.

Due to modern streamlining of tank design, the T-72 is proving to be a bit boring.  It doesn't have all those odd details of WWII vehicles.  But since it is from my time in uniform, I thought I should have one in the collection.  I will post a photo later.

Received an email from Poland today telling that some mail was shipped.

Hope it does not take long.  Rich A. in Pa.

I received the missing parts from Poland today (thumbs-up COBI). As supposed a complete bag with more than 20 parts was missing.

 

 

And here it is my completed Panzer I

 

 

Looks nice.  Rich A. in Pa.

I am glad it worked out Lars.

 

I just opened my copy of this kit, and the first thing I did was count the road wheels!  Sure enough, they were all there.

 

Now I just have to see if I have everything else!

I must say the COBI service was very quick. I filled an online form and sent a picture of the cunstruction manual with the missing parts marked. Received the missing parts after two weeks and that´s okay for me.

On one of the countless brick related sites I have seen that COBI is to release a Fairchild A10 kit. I think this will be one of my next models.

Now I hope that your Pz I is complete.

That looks good. I'm glad it all went well.

 

Semper Fi.

Those are awesome! I should start a kit like this
