COBI Sainte-Mère-Église church Historical Collection 2299 COBI-2299

The COBI Historical Collection 2299 is a detailed building set that recreates the church of Sainte-Mère-Église, the French village that became famous during the Second World War when American paratroopers landed in its surroundings during the Normandy invasion of 1944. Made up of 2280 pieces, the set builds into a large, richly detailed model featuring the church's distinctive tower, Gothic style elements and architectural details. The plastic parts are of good quality and produce a durable construction.

The build suits children aged 10 and over as well as adult model builders looking for a challenging project. The finished model is intended for indoor display and works well as a decorative piece on a shelf or desk.

As part of the Historical Collection range, the set combines hands-on building with historical interest. It is a fitting gift for history enthusiasts, collectors and builders who want to explore a significant site of the Second World War in a playful way.
