Italeri 6188 - 1/72 British 11th Hussars Crimean War Model Kit

This Italeri 6188 kit recreates a defining episode from the Crimean War: the light brigade charge at Balaklava. Model builders can assemble figures representing the Prince Alberts Own 11th Hussars or the 8th Hussars, illustrating the dramatic cavalry engagement led by Lord Cardigan and the subsequent pushback of Russian forces.

Why this subject appeals to modellers

The Balaklava action is notable for its tactical drama and period uniforms. At 1/72 scale the kit balances manageable size with clear detail, making it a satisfying project for hobbyists who value historical accuracy in uniforms, tack and weaponry.

Assembly notes and display advice

Parts are styled for realistic poses and period detail; glue and paint are required to complete the figures. Once finished the set works well in a small diorama or as part of a larger Crimean War display to honour the 11th Hussars' role.
