Italeri 6005 - 1/72 Austrian infantry figures from the Napoleonic campaigns

The Italeri 6005 set depicts Austrian infantry active during the Napoleonic Wars, emphasising the look of units around 1809. This boxed kit caters to builders who value period fidelity and clear sculpting for painting and display.

Uniform detail and modelling highlights

Austrian troops of that period adopted several distinctive items, including the 1798 helmet used by light infantry such as Frei-Corps and Jagers. The Italeri figures show riflemen and grenadiers with bearskin caps, enabling realistic reenactment of formations like the Grenadiers Corps Reserve under Liechtenstein.

Construction tips and display results

With 48 foot soldiers plus a horse, the kit provides ample figures for small battle scenes or to augment an existing collection. The parts respond well to careful trimming, painting and weathering, producing a strong historical display for shelf or cabinet presentation.
