Miniature Napoleonic Artillery from Italeri 1/72 French Line/Guard Artillery

The Italeri 6018 set captures a slice of Napoleonic warfare at 1/72 scale, focusing on field guns and their crews. It is well suited to builders wanting to study period uniforms and the mechanics of horse artillery in a small footprint.

Context and faithful detail

Napoleonic battles relied heavily on mobile artillery, and this kit reflects that by showing crew roles and authentic uniform features like the skin cap. The Gribeuval-inspired gun designs in the box show the innovations that helped streamline artillery deployment.

Display and modelling benefits

Assembly yields compact, display-ready pieces that work well in cabinet scenes or larger formations. The 1/72 scale is practical for collectors who want multiple batteries without needing excessive space.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Polystyrene plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for historical accuracy
Polystyrene cement or liquid plastic glue gives the strongest bonds for the parts. Use a fine applicator for small figure joints and gun fittings.
Beginners with patience can complete the kit, though painting small uniform details may be challenging. Start with basic techniques and build skills on this compact subject.
The figures show characteristic horse artillery uniforms, including the skin cap and period cut. For museum-grade accuracy, consult reference plates before final painting.
