Cobi: World War II - Kubus 1/35th Scale Construction Set (302 Pieces)

Kubus was a Polish improvised armored car that was built by Warsaw insurgents in August 1944 during the Warsaw Uprising. This vehicle was built in just a few days in the workshop at ul. Tamka. It was built using the chassis of a Chevrolet 157 truck and steel sheets to protect the crew from enemy fire. Kubus, armed with machine guns, took part in several combat operations, including an unsuccessful attack on the University of Warsaw. After the end of the uprising, Kubus miraculously survived the war and is currently 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 it was decided to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising! COBI have prepared a unique brick set with the legendary insurgent car "Kubus"!

The 1:35 scale block model contains prints and all the most important features of its inspiration, which is located in the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw. COBI didn't even forget about such a little-known detail as the Otter Motor Column emblem on the bumper! Our model is equipped with a DP-28 machine gun. The top hatch can be opened to place a figure inside. Not everyone knows that Kubus was entered through a hole in the floor! COBI recreated this unusual entrance in the model!

The set includes two figures depicting Warsaw insurgents. COBI presented a soldier from the Wydra Motor Column, which was part of the Krybar Group, in a gray overalls 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 "Rafalki" platoon. What distinguished them from other units was the use of yellow triangular pennants with a skull as German sappers' emblems, which marked a mined or chemically contaminated area. This symbol is located on the soldier's left shoulder. On the side of the helmet, the letter "R" is painted in white, characteristic of this group. Both figures are equipped with accessories like a STEN submachine gun, a Bren light machine gun, a hand grenade and a mine. The set also includes a bottle and a fragment of barbed wire.
