Scale figure kit: Italeri 6059 - 1/72 Italian Alpini

The Italeri 6059 set produces a group of 1/72 scale Italian Alpini figures tailored for historical modelling projects. With focused sculpting on uniforms and equipment, it provides a good baseline for modellers who like to paint and weather small-scale infantry.

Historical note and modelling benefits

The Alpini were specialist mountain troops that served in several tough campaigns during WWII. This kit recreates their distinctive gear and poses, making it useful for builders wanting to depict Italian mountain units from the Eastern Front or Italian campaigns.

Assembly advice and presentation

Parts are injection-moulded plastic and need trimming, cleanup and glueing. After painting, these figures present well in a small display or as part of a larger battlefield vignette. They suit modellers who enjoy detail work at small scale.

Specifications

  • 1/72 scale figures
  • Plastic material
  • Requires assembly with glue
  • Paints must be purchased separately

What tools are recommended to assemble this kit?

Essential tools include sprue cutters, a sharp hobby knife, fine files or sanding sticks, and plastic glue. Tweezers help with positioning small parts during assembly.

Are decals or markings included?

This figure kit focuses on sculpted detail; it does not include paint or decals. Modellers typically hand-paint insignia or use aftermarket decals suited to 1/72 figures.

How should I prepare parts before painting?

Clean parts to remove mould release, wash in mild soapy water, then prime with a thin coat. Light sanding of attachment points improves paint adhesion and final finish.
