Italeri 1/72 French Hussars: Napoleonic Figures for Modellers

The Italeri 1/72 French Hussars kit presents compact, dynamic figures representing Napoleonic light cavalry duties. It is aimed at modellers who enjoy painting period uniforms and assembling detailed small-scale figures.

Historical Notes and Modelling Focus

Originating from the Hungarian term "huszar", hussars evolved into a prominent light cavalry type across Europe. French hussars were key in reconnaissance and skirmishing during the Napoleonic wars. This kit highlights uniform detail suitable for research and display.

Practical Build and Display Advice

At 1/72, the figures are well suited to collectors who want to display a number of troops without large layouts. The injection-moulded parts need glue and paint to reach their full potential. Finished pieces integrate nicely with other 1/72 units for battle scenes.
