ORP "Orzel" - the Polish submarine

ORP "Orzel" - a Polish submarine of the same type. The first of two large Polish ships, built before World War II. He became famous thanks to the so-called "Orzel escape", when he escaped from Tallinn, where he was arrested and interned at the beginning of the Second World War. The keel was laid in 1936 August 14, launched in 1938 at the Dutch shipyard "De Schellde in January 15 and began service in 1939 February 2. The ship had a classic layout and was equipped with the latest technology. The power plant consisted of two diesel and electric engines, but the ship itself turned out to be too large for the shallow waters of the Baltic Sea.

A fairly large and detailed, well-designed, but not particularly complex, already "computer-era" design model, that can be assembled without much difficulty by an advanced beginner and a modeler with little experience, working under the supervision of a more experienced colleague. Graphical instructions are of average quality, but sufficient, textual instructions are excellent. The model provides the possibility to make rotating torpedo tubes. Antiquarian publication.
