“This is the 4th COBI model I have built from the World of Warships line. The quality of the pieces is easily on par with LEGO brand. The model is very detailed, and I really liked that there are no stickers and the pieces are painted for more details. The instructions are very easy to follow. The only reason I rated this 4 starts instead of 5 is because my set was missing two pieces, specifically on step 214 and 280. There was similar pieces in the bags, but they were not the same. Fortunately I was able to work around this with other bricks I had on hand. I would still recommend this set.”
“-General-My comments here apply to most, if not all of Cobi's building sets. So far I've built several of Cobi's ship and plane sets, soon to be truck/tank sets, and they are easily the go-to brick-building company for both military and civilian vehicle sets. I've looked into some of the other brick builders like Oxford and inFUNity, and they just didn't seem as polished and well thought out as Cobi. The unique and effective catalogue of bricks they use make for cleverly designed and built sets, which are extremely satisfying to construct, if you're coming from Lego's standard set of bricks. It's real nice not having to go to niche custom set designers for some really solid renditions of all kinds of vehicles.Their building instructions are a bit different to that of Lego's, which threw me for a loop at first, but I soon realized it's a better way of instructing. It makes it a bit clearer as to what bricks go where, especially with how similar some of their bricks can be. They also print a lot of the decals on the bricks, so no stickers!-Enterprise-Specific to this set, the Enterprise is a historical icon, and Cobi has reimagined it wonderfully. The hull form is superbly designed to shape, the sub flight-deck structures are amazingly detailed (far more than I thought possible), the flight deck is lined with a ton 12.7mm Brownings which is just awesome looking, and they made special molds for the planes that turned out really good. The build could easily take several days of on-off building.”
