Italeri 1/72 French Line Infantry (1815) - Detailed Napoleonic Miniatures

The Italeri 1/72 French Line Infantry kit gives modellers a close look at soldiers from Napoleon's Grande Armee. The set focuses on the line infantry who formed the backbone of Napoleonic formations in 1815, with their characteristic shako headgear that replaced bicorns after 1806. It is a compact but faithful option for hobbyists who enjoy historical accuracy.

Role of the Line Infantry in 1815

Line infantry units were central to period battle tactics, and this kit mirrors their equipment and uniforms with careful detail. The sculpting highlights period-accurate jackets, shakos and accoutrements, making it a useful reference when recreating campaigns from the late Napoleonic era.

Modelling notes and display uses

At 1/72 scale this Italeri set suits both display shelves and small dioramas. Each figure is intended for painting and assembly, offering modellers a painting challenge to reproduce historic colours and textures. Good for collectors who like structured infantry formations on the shelf or in vignettes.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
The kit contains multiple infantry figures in standard marching and firing poses. Modellers can adjust minor bits during assembly to vary poses, though major repositioning may need careful cutting and re-gluing.
Use fine synthetic brushes for details and acrylic model paints for durability. Thin layers and a steady hand are preferable to capture shako details and uniform trim at this scale.
Yes, the figures represent the 1815 period well and work in small battle dioramas. Pair with terrain elements and other 1/72 units to build a convincing scene.
