Italeri 6019 - 1/72 Scale Teutonic Knights Model Kit - Historic Figure Set  [IT-6019S]

Italeri 1/72 Teutonic Knights - Compact Medieval Figure Set

The Italeri 1/72 Teutonic Knights kit gives a faithful snapshot of medieval military figures. It appeals to model makers interested in period uniforms and iconography, and it provides a rewarding small-scale painting challenge for those refining brush technique.

Background and Influence

The Teutonic Knights formed during the crusading era and later influenced settlement across parts of Eastern Europe, notably in Prussia and the Baltic states. Their white tunics bearing a black cross became a widely recognised symbol after papal endorsement. Key battles, including the 1242 confrontation at Lake Peipus, marked turning points in their regional power.

Modelling Features and Uses

At 1/72 scale, Italeri's figures strike a balance between fine sculpt detail and straightforward assembly. This makes them well suited for collectors who like to combine historical research with painting practice, whether for standalone display or layered diorama scenes.
