Italeri 6073 - 1/72 Napoleonic Russian Infantry Figure Kit

The Italeri 6073 1/72 kit recreates Russian infantry from the Napoleonic Wars, offering figures that reflect the uniform details used during the reign of Tzar Alexander I. These parts work well for scenes inspired by Borodino 1812 and the Leipzig confrontations of 1813, suitable for small-scale displays and cabinet dioramas.

Historical background for modellers

Russian troops were a key component of the coalition efforts against Napoleon, with notable actions that shaped the campaign outcomes. This kit supplies a manageable set of figures that let builders explore period clothing, formations and battlefield roles.

Tips for assembly and finishing

Because of the small scale, expect to spend time on trimming and careful brushwork. Patience with washes and highlights will help bring out buttons, belts and other uniform features, improving the overall presentation.
