In our model studio we are currently working on the miniature of the famous Polish submarine ORP Orzeł. Originally almost 84 meters long, we build it in 1:10 scale - so it will have a length of 8.4 m. The Polish authorities commissioned the Dutch shipyard De Schelde with the construction. On February 10th, 1939 it was launched for the first time in Polish waters in the port of Gdynia. At the start of World War 2 it was initially involved in the defense of the coast and then interned in the capital of Estonia and partly disarmed before continuing to flee to Britain. The trip took 27 days, all without maps and navigation and was only possible due to the signals of the lighthouses. During a patrol in June 1940, the submarine disappeared without a trace and has been missing since.
The unique miniature of the submarine can be admired in our Miniature Park in Niechorze from May.
