Italeri 1/72 French Imperial Guard Artillery - Napoleonic Era Kit

This kit reproduces the Regiment d'Artillerie a Pied de la Garde Imperiale from the Napoleonic Wars, highlighting the distinctive bearskin bonnets introduced circa 1810. The Italeri 1/72 scale model gives modelers a faithful small-scale representation of these elite artillery crews, suitable for display or incorporation into a period diorama.

Why this kit appeals to history-minded builders

The French Imperial Guard earned its reputation as an elite formation within Napoleon's Grande Armee. This Italeri kit models the gun crew in authentic period poses, typically an eight-man team working the piece. It is a rewarding build for collectors who value historical detail and compact 1/72 scale presentation.

Construction and display considerations

Designed with attention to period uniforms and crew roles, the kit is well suited to builders who enjoy painting figures and creating small battlefield scenes. The 1/72 scale makes it practical to group with other Napoleonic miniatures for a concise but informative display.
