Italeri 6052 - 1/72 Scale British Hussars from the Crimean Campaign

The Italeri 6052 captures a slice of Crimean War history in 1/72 scale, presenting British Hussars figures that suit display plates and small scenic bases. The kit gives modellers a chance to work on uniform detail and cavalry poses.

Context and why modellers choose this kit

The charge at Balaklava is one of the most cited moments of the conflict, and these figures mirror the 8th Hussars and the 11th Hussars Prince Alberts Own in motion. The set is useful for those interested in period uniforms, small dioramas or collecting accurate miniature cavalry.

Assembly and painting notes

Parts are moulded to show era-correct kit and weapons, making painting rewarding once assembled. The 1/72 scale keeps pieces small enough for tight displays but detailed enough for careful brushwork.
