The Italeri 6005 kit recreates Austrian infantry formations from the Napoleonic Wars, with a focus on troops active around the 1809 campaigns. Model makers who value uniform detail and period accuracy will find this set rewarding.
In the early 1800s the Austrian army adapted several uniform styles, including the 1798 helmet used by light infantry units like the Frei-Corps and Jagers. This Italeri release captures those distinctions, showing riflemen paired with grenadiers wearing bearskin caps. These figures work well for battle scenes or regimental displays, including representations of the Grenadiers Corps Reserve under Liechtenstein.
This boxed kit contains 48 infantry figures plus a mounted figure, giving plenty of material for compact dioramas or to expand an existing collection. The sculpted uniform details and accessories make it a satisfying build for both newcomers and seasoned painters, ending as a clear museum-style display of Austrian infantry during the Napoleonic conflicts.
