COBI Cube, 302 pieces (COBI-3114)

Product description

Kubuś was a Polish improvised armored vehicle built by Warsaw insurgents in August 1944, during the Warsaw Uprising.

This vehicle was built in just a few days in the workshop on Tamka Street.

It was made using the chassis of a Chevrolet 157 truck and steel sheets to protect the crew from enemy fire.

Kubuś, equipped with machine guns, participated in several combat operations, including a failed attack on the University of Warsaw.

After the end of the uprising, Kubuś miraculously survived the war and is now exhibited in the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw as a symbol of the courage and ingenuity of the Warsaw insurgents!

Together with the Polish Army Museum, we decided to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising! We have prepared a unique set of bricks with the legendary insurgent vehicle "Kubuś"! The 1:35 scale block model contains prints and all the important features of its inspiration, which is housed in the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw.

Even the lesser-known detail, such as the emblem of the Motor Column "Otter" on the bumper, has not been forgotten! Our model is equipped with a DP-28 machine gun. The upper hatch can be opened to place a figure inside.

Not everyone knows that Kubuś was accessible through an opening in the floor! We have recreated this unusual entrance in the model! The set includes two figures representing Warsaw insurgents.

We have presented a soldier from the Motor Column Wydra, which was part of the Krybar Group, in a gray uniform with a white and red armband on the right arm and an "Otter" patch on the left arm, along with a blue cap.

The second soldier belongs to the "Rafałki" platoon.

What distinguished them from other units was the use of yellow triangular flags with a skull as emblems of German sappers, which marked a mined or chemically contaminated area.

This symbol is located on the soldier's left shoulder.

The letter "R" is painted on the side of the helmet, characteristic of this group.

Both figures are equipped with accessories such as a STEN machine gun, a Bren light machine gun, a hand grenade and a mine.

The set also includes a bottle and a fragment of barbed wire.

The Warsaw Uprising broke out on August 1, 1944 and lasted until October 3.

It was an armed action of the Polish resistance movement, mainly the Home Army, against German troops occupying Warsaw.

The goal of the uprising was to liberate the capital before the arrival of the Red Army to ensure the sovereignty of Poland after the war.

Despite initial successes, the insurgents were unable to hold their ground in the face of overwhelming German forces and the lack of sufficient external aid.

After 63 days of intense fighting, the uprising was overrun.

Approximately 16,000 insurgents and approximately civilians died, and the city was almost completely destroyed.

The Warsaw Uprising remains a symbol of Polish heroism and patriotism.
