Italeri 1/72 Crusaders Scale Model Kit: A Window into the First Crusade

The Italeri 1/72 Crusaders kit recreates key elements of the late 11th century campaigns, including the 1099 siege of Jerusalem led by Godfrey of Bouillon. This set captures a range of troop types from across Christian Europe, showing chain mail knights, mounted heavy cavalry and crossbow-equipped infantry in compact 1/72 scale.

Why this kit appeals to history modellers

This model set is a strong pick for builders who value scale accuracy and period detail. The almond-shaped shields, chain mail texture and varied troop poses give a clear picture of battlefield roles and formations from the First Crusade, making assembly and painting both instructive and rewarding.

Display uses and collector interest

At 1/72 scale the figures suit both dioramas and shelf displays. The kit fits well with other historical military models, offering options for small battle scenes or mixed collections that illustrate medieval warfare and equipment.
