The Mirage Hobby 355026 Kubuś model is a precise plastic kit for self-assembly in 1/35 scale, allowing you to recreate the famous armored insurgent vehicle from August 1944. The "Kubuś" armored car is one of the most recognizable symbols of the Warsaw Uprising, being one of the very few self-constructed armored vehicles used by insurgents in their fight against the German occupiers in the capital of Poland.

Historical model – authenticity and details

The "Kubuś" was built in August 1944, during the course of the Warsaw Uprising, in just a few days. It was constructed in secret in car workshops located in Warsaw by soldiers of the Home Army, based on the chassis of a captured Chevrolet 157 truck. Its armor was made from steel sheets and parts of tram plates. The vehicle took an active part in battles during attempts to capture the University of Warsaw. It was used exclusively by Poles – Warsaw insurgents, and has survived as a unique artifact in the Polish Army Museum.
