Italeri 1/72 French Heavy Cavalry - Detailed Carabiniers Figures

This Italeri 1/72 French Heavy Cavalry kit recreates the look of Napoleonic Carabiniers with careful sculpting and period detail. The miniatures represent the heavy cavalry units famed for their armour and battlefield roles, including noted actions at Borodino and Marshal Ney's charge at Waterloo.

The Role of Heavy Cavalry

During the Napoleonic era, heavy cavalry like the Carabiniers were deployed to break lines and support infantry actions. Their mass and shock tactics made them decisive in many engagements, and this kit helps modellers reproduce those tactical moments in miniature.

Modelling and Finish Advice

At 1/72 scale these figures reward neat assembly and careful paintwork. The kit suits modellers who enjoy historical accuracy in uniforms and equipment. Work slowly on joints and use thin paint coats to retain fine detail for display or diorama use.
