Italeri 6093 Austrian Infantry 1/72 Scale Model Kit  [IT-6093S]

Inspecting the Italeri 1/72 Austrian Infantry kit

The Italeri 1/72 Napoleonic Wars Austrian Infantry model kit recreates the uniform styles and kit used by Austrian soldiers around the turn of the 19th century. Notable details include the short leather caps with brass front plates featuring the imperial eagle, all scaled for precise painting and basing.

Historical notes and fidelity

The kit references events such as the Battle of Marengo on June 14th, 1800, a clash between Napoleon's forces and the Austrian army led by General Baron Melas that had lasting political effects in Europe. Figures reflect contemporary headgear like the 1798 helmets bearing Francis II's initials, typical for Frei-Corps and Jager light infantry battalions.

Suitability for hobby projects

Builders will appreciate the level of sculpted detail, which supports realistic shading and weathering techniques. This release is well suited for diorama scenes, display units, or as a period-themed modelling challenge.
