Although it entered service later than ORP Sokól, it quickly earned a reputation as one of the most effective Polish submarines of World War II. Its verified list of successes includes five sunk ships with a total tonnage of approximately 8,650 GRT, three sunk landing craft and one damaged enemy ship. Together with ORP Sokól, it formed the legendary duo known as the \"Terrible Twins,\" whose legend has become a permanent part of 20th-century naval history. After the war, the submarine was returned to the Royal Navy and then transferred to the Danish Navy - initially under the name U1, and later \"Springeren.\" In October 1957, it finally returned to the Royal Navy and was scrapped in April 1958.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey features of the ORP Dzik kit:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eMuseum collaboration - the kit was released in collaboration with the Polish Naval Museum in Gdynia, guaranteeing high historical accuracy and substantive quality.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e1:300 scale - realistic reproduction of the ship's silhouette, proportions and distinctive structural elements.
