Model of the ORP Dzik submarine, ready for your next patrol!
The ORP Dzik submarine is a symbol of the courage, bravery and extraordinary effectiveness of the Polish Navy during World War II. In this modeling set, it has been faithfully reproduced in a collectible 1:300 scale.
The model was designed as part of a coherent series of COBI historical ships, making it look great alongside other vessels in the same scale.
The set was created in cooperation with the Polish Navy Museum in Gdynia, guaranteeing a high level of historical accuracy, attention to detail, and faithful reproduction of the ship's markings and distinctive silhouette.
One of the "Terrible Twins" approaches.
ORP Dzik was a U-class submarine transferred to Poland by Great Britain in 1942. Although it entered service later than ORP Sokół, it quickly earned a reputation as one of the most effective Polish submarines of World War II.
Its verified list of successes includes five sunk ships with a total tonnage of approximately 8,650 GRT, three sunk landing craft and one damaged enemy ship. Together with ORP Sokół, it formed the legendary duo known as the "Terrible Twins," whose legend has become a permanent part of 20th-century naval history.
After the war, the submarine was returned to the Royal Navy and then transferred to the Danish Navy – initially under the name U1, and later "Springeren." In October 1957, it finally returned to the Royal Navy and was scrapped in April 1958.
Key features of the ORP Dzik kit:
Museum collaboration – the kit was released in collaboration with the Polish Naval Museum in Gdynia, guaranteeing high historical accuracy and substantive quality.
1:300 scale – realistic reproduction of the ship's silhouette, proportions and distinctive structural elements. Ideal for building a cohesive collection or maritime dioramas.
High-quality workmanship – precisely fitted components and clearly reproduced details of the hull and conning tower.
Collectible character – the model perfectly complements the COBI 1:300 scale ship series, alongside ORP Orzeł, ORP Sęp, HNoMS Uredd, HMS Upholder and German vessels such as the U-47 and U-96.
Base with collector's plaque – an elegant display format featuring the ship's name and scale adds class and character.
Durable prints – all markings are printed on, without the use of stickers. They are durable and resistant, and their quality remains consistent for years.
Age: 7+ – accessible construction and a satisfying end result for both beginner modelers and more experienced collectors.
Clear instructions – intuitive and user-friendly for both younger builders and adult history enthusiasts.
Pirate Flag – the set includes a brick plaque with a historical pirate flag. The Jolly Roger flag flew on the masts of the Polish "Terrible Twins" ORP Sokół and ORP Dzika, a symbolic record of combat success in the British (and Polish) submarine tradition.
Ideal for display and play – the compact size and expressive form make the model a perfect addition to a collection and convenient for creating your own play scenarios.
