Why this kit appeals to history modellers

These figures capture the look of line infantry that faced French forces at key battles, making the kit a solid choice for those building historically themed displays or small dioramas.

Assembly and painting notes for builders

The moulded figures focus on accurate uniform detail at a small scale, so careful trimming and fine brushes give the best result. This kit rewards patience: precise painting and steady assembly will bring out the period tailoring and accoutrements typical of early 19th-century Russian servicemen.
