Italeri 6073 - 1/72 Napoleonic Era Russian Infantry Kit

This Italeri 6073 kit recreates Russian infantry from the Napoleonic Wars at 1/72 scale, highlighting the period uniforms used under Tzar Alexander I. The set is suitable for modellers who want to depict engagements like Borodino 1812 and Leipzig 1813, offering a compact way to explore military dress and battlefield formations.

Why this kit appeals to history modellers

The Napoleonic Wars involved sweeping campaigns across Europe, with Russian troops playing a central role in coalition actions. 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.

Yes. The uniforms and poses are appropriate for Borodino-era displays, though you may wish to add terrain and additional elements to set the scene accurately.
Use fine sable or synthetic brushes, thin your paints, and work in layers. Start with base colours, then add highlights and small details like buttons and straps to enhance realism.
Standard polystyrene model cement or CA glue works for PS plastic parts. Apply sparingly to avoid melting fine detail and hold pieces steady until cured.
