Italeri 6047 - 1/72 Roman Infantry Model Kit - Cesars Wars Series, Modellers Edition  [IT-6047S]

Italeri 6047 - 1/72 scale Roman infantry figures

The Italeri 6047 kit in 1/72 scale captures the equipment and stance of a 1st Century B.C. Roman legionary. It is aimed at modellers who value period-accurate gear and compact scale figures suitable for group displays.

Why modellers pick Roman legionaries

Roman legionaries are popular because their kit blends practical armour with tactical design. The lorica segmentata offered layered protection while the scutum supported shield wall tactics. The compact gladius and heavy pilum rounded out the standard kit for close combat and disruption of enemy lines.

Tips for assembling this kit

Small-scale parts reward patience and steady hands. Use fine files and a sharp cutter for clean separations, then apply thin layers of paint to preserve detail. The build provides a good challenge that improves small-scale modelling skills.

Display considerations

Once painted, these miniatures make effective displays in dioramas or as part of an ancient warfare cabinet. Their scale lets you show unit tactics and equipment variety without a large footprint.
