Klocki improvised armoured car Kubuś Warsaw Uprising

Klocki improvised armoured car Kubuś Warsaw Uprising - description

Kubuś is a Polish improvised armored car, which was built by the Warsaw insurgents in August 1944 during the Warsaw Uprising. This vehicle was built in just a few days, in the workshop at Tamka Street. It was built using the chassis of the Chevrolet 157 truck and steel plates to protect the crew from enemy fire. Kubuś, 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, 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 brick set with the legendary Kubuś insurgent car! The 1:35 scale brick model contains prints and all the most important features of its prototype located in the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw. We haven't even forgotten about such a little-known detail as the Otter Motorized Column emblem on the bumper! Our model is equipped with a DP-28 machine gun. The upper hatch can be opened to place a figurine in it. Not everyone knows that you got into Kubuś through a hole in the floor! We marked this unusual entrance in the model! The set includes two figurines depicting Warsaw insurgents. In a gray overalls, with a white and red band on his right arm, with an Otter patch on his left and blue foragers, we presented a soldier from the Wydra Motor Column, which was part of the Krybar Group. The second soldier belongs to Rafałka's platoon. What distinguished them from other formations was the use of yellow triangular pennants with a skull as emblems of German sappers, which were a designation for mined or chemically contaminated areas. This symbol is located on the left shoulder of the soldier. On the helmet on the side, the letter R characteristic of this formation is painted with white paint. Both figures are equipped with accessories such as: a STEN submachine gun, a Bren light machine gun, a hand grenade and a mine. The set also includes a bottle and a piece of barbed wire.
The Warsaw Uprising broke out on August 1, 1944 and lasted until October 3. It was an armed uprising of the Polish resistance movement, mainly the Home Army, against the German troops occupying Warsaw. The aim of the uprising was to liberate the capital before the arrival of the Red Army to ensure Polish sovereignty after the war. Despite initial successes, the insurgents did not manage to maintain their positions in the face of overwhelming German forces and the lack of sufficient external help. After 63 days of fierce fighting, the uprising was suppressed. About 16,000 insurgents and about 150,000-200,000 civilians were killed, and the city was almost completely destroyed. The Warsaw Uprising remains a symbol of Polish heroism and patriotism.
