Italeri 1/72 Scale - French Imperial Guard Artillery

Recreating the Regiment d'Artillerie a Pied de la Garde Imperiale, this Italeri 1/72 kit captures the look of Napoleonic artillery crews, including the bearskin bonnets introduced in 1810. The set is aimed at hobbyists who value a faithful period representation in a manageable scale.

Model appeal and period accuracy

The Imperial Guard was an elite element of Napoleon's forces. This kit models a typical artillery team of eight men, showing the crew at work around their gun. It suits builders who want an accurate, displayable example of Napoleonic artillery without large space demands.

Assembly, painting and display notes

Thoughtful detailing on figures and equipment rewards careful assembly and painting. The 1/72 scale is efficient for shelf displays or mixed-unit dioramas, offering a balance between detail and space economy.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Intermediate builders will find the parts straightforward, while newcomers with some patience can also succeed. Small components need steady hands and fine tools.
Check the kit box contents; most Italeri figure kits include basic decals for insignia, but paint practice is often needed to match historic colours.
Use a clear matt or satin varnish to seal painted figures and prevent rubbing. Apply in thin, even coats once paint is fully dry.
Yes, the compact crew and cannon work well as a focal point in small Napoleonic scenes or as part of a larger collection of 1/72 units.
