Italeri 6052 1/72 - British Hussars, Crimean War

This Italeri 6052 kit recreates a dramatic moment from the Crimean War, focusing on the British Hussars in 1/72 scale. The set is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy assembling and finishing compact, accurate cavalry figures for shelf displays or small dioramas.

Campaign background and modelling interest

The Battle of Balaklava and the famous light brigade action are central to this kit's story. The figures represent the 8th Hussars and Prince Alberts Own 11th Hussars as they moved across the valley under heavy fire, offering a chance to explore period uniform detail and battlefield posture.

Build notes and finish

Detailing is tailored so both newcomers and experienced modellers can enjoy the build. Each cavalry figure shows uniform and equipment features appropriate to the era, and the 1/72 scale keeps the project compact while preserving fine detail for painting and display.
