Build a legend that has gone down in the annals of World War II history and place it alongside models such as ORP Orzeł, U-96 and U-47, creating a collection that exudes naval power and the history of real battles. History of the warship ORP Sęp ORP Sęp was one of two modern submarines of the Orzeł class, built for the Polish Navy of the Second Polish Republic at the Dutch shipyard Rotterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij. Launched in 1938, it was distinguished by its solid construction, large displacement and significant combat potential for the realities of the 1930s. In the face of the growing threat of war, the unit was brought to Poland in April 1939, even before its formal acceptance. During the September campaign, ORP Sęp participated in the "Worek" defense plan, including an attempt to torpedo the German destroyer Friedrich Ihn. Soon, it became the target of intense enemy action, and the damage sustained forced it to break through to neutral Sweden, where it was interned until the end of the war. After 1945, the ship returned to Poland and for many years served training and patrol functions. Its long and turbulent service finally ended in 1969, when ORP Sęp was finally decommissioned. Now you can bring it back into service! All you have to do is build this model and "board" it in your collector's display case.
