COBI Aircraft Carrier Graf Zeppelin Details:

One of the best things about COBI Bricks is their attention to detail and focus on models of historical significance.  The Graf Zeppelin Carrier Set is no exception! If you are like the Warbricks Team, you had no idea that the Germans had an aircraft carrier during WWII, and you would be partially right!  The Graf Zeppelin Aircraft Carrier was never finished but as you will see in the photos and documentation below, it did exist in an almost complete state for some time.

The COBI Graf Zeppelin Set will provide hours and hours of building fun!  COBI utilized highly detailed smooth parts with printed deck painting to earn the 1/300 scale kit respect in any collection.  For the first time, COBI utilized a working aircraft elevator on the deck (The COBI USS Enterprise Set didn’t even have that 🙁 )  The Pad printed parts will not wear out over time with hard play or dusting and even the aircraft feature two color patterns to provide added realism to the ships envisioned purpose of hosting maritime versions of German fighter planes and stuka dive bombers.

Another detail is COBI’s narrow,  transparent block that attaches to the bottom of the micro German aircraft which in turn imitates an aircraft taking off from the deck.   Add in the display stand and you will have a display model worth placing in any den, study or play room!

German Graf Zeppelin Carrier History:

The German aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin was the lead ship in a class of two carriers of the same name ordered by the Kriegsmarine of Nazi Germany. She was the only aircraft carrier launched by Germany and represented part of the Kriegsmarines attempt to create a well-balanced oceangoing fleet, capable of projecting German naval power far beyond the narrow confines of the Baltic and North Seas. The carrier would have had a complement of 42 fighters and dive bombers.

Construction on Graf Zeppelin began on 28 December 1936, when her keel was laid down at the Deutsche Werke shipyard in Kiel. Named in honor of Graf (Count) Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the ship was launched on 8 December 1938, and was 85% complete by the outbreak of World War II in September 1939. Graf Zeppelin was not completed and was never operational due to shifting construction priorities necessitated by the war. She remained in the Baltic for the duration of the war; with Germany’s defeat imminent, the ship’s custodian crew scuttled her just outside Stettin in March 1945. The Soviet Union raised the ship in March 1946, and she was ultimately sunk in weapons tests north of Poland 17 months later. The wreck was discovered by a Polish survey ship in July 2006.

The ship’s primary offensive power would have been its aircraft complement. Graf Zeppelinwould have carried 42 aircraft as designed: 12 navalized Junkers Ju 87 “Stuka” dive bombers, 10 Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters, and 20 Fieseler Fi 167 torpedo bombers.  Later during the construction process, the aerial complement was reworked to consist of thirty Ju 87s and twelve Bf 109s, and the Fi 167s were removed altogether.

    This is a terrific set based on the WW2 German aircraft carrier. This carrier is a good bit different from the USS Enterprise and I think it is a more challenging build (it’s also about 600 more pieces). Being a German ship, it also has a completely different style to it.
    It features several types of cannons, two different types of fighters, and some pretty interesting construction techniques. The working aircraft elevator is a cleverly designed touch.
    Since COBI released their ship line, they have continually upped their game, and this ship is certainly no exception. Though the Graf Zeppelin never saw service in WW2, this kit is simply fantastic and makes a worthy addition to any collection.

  2. Elaine O’Brien (verified owner)

    My son had been looking for this aircraft carrier for quite a while, he was not disappointed when he got it, it is fantastic, it is super addition to his WW2 Cobi collection. War bricks shipping was so quick and efficient, would definitely recommend

  3. Ace Combat (verified owner)

    This is a great set, very well designed. Lots of details.

  4. Michael MacDaniels (verified owner)

    Love the aircraft carriers! So detailed and fun to put together. Had the other Graf Zepplin version and loved this one as well! Definitely one of my sons favorites!

  5. Cameron Morgan (verified owner)

    Great model, it was loads of fun to build!

  6. Debbie (verified owner)

    I would love to leave a review but this was bought for for grandson, who is a huge WWII fan, it will be given either as a birthday or Christmas gift depending when the Yamato battleship is received from pre-order. I have gotten him other WWII carriers/submarines and the Titanic. I wish I know about this family. They included a personal note from the son which I will pass onto my grandson. Anytime I need COBI I will be ordering from WARBRICKS

  7. Blu Miller (verified owner)

    Package arrived in perfect condition and the build was both challenging and fun. The finished product looks amazing

  8. Krystal (verified owner)

    I love the details and just the time choosing each piece and making it come alive.

  9. zekintha25 (verified owner)

    The model is another great build from Cobi and Warbricks. Instructions were easy to follow, and I enjoyed the number of pieces in the set to create a more realistic, detailed model. I like how Cobi creates custom pieces and pad prints vs. stickers. I was impressed that Cobi created a model this large even though the ship did not enter service.

  10. soapbox777 (verified owner)

    Had the Graf Zeppelin on my list for quite a while, but hadn’t pulled the trigger since the carrier never went into operation and was just kind of an interesting bit of WWII trivia. But then I played through the entire Sniper Elite game and the final mission is an assault on the Graf Zeppelin under construction in Kiel. That pushed me over the edge and I had to get this Cobi set!
