Italeri 6135 - 1/72 Napoleonic Wars French Imperial Guard Artillery Model Kit for Modellers  [IT-6135S]

Italeri 1/72 Napoleonic French Artillery from the Imperial Guard

This Italeri 1/72 kit recreates the Regiment d'Artillerie a Pied de la Garde Imperiale, showing the characteristic bearskin headgear adopted around 1810. It is a compact, accurate representation aimed at modellers who enjoy period units and detailed paintwork.

Historical context and modelling interest

The Imperial Guard formed the backbone of Napoleon's elite forces, known for strict discipline and battlefield impact. The kit depicts the artillery detachment, usually an eight-figure crew, giving modellers scope to depict crew actions and cannon handling in a small footprint.

Tips for building and showcasing

With careful assembly and painting, this 1/72 set will present well on a shelf or as part of a larger diorama. It suits modellers who like to focus on uniform detail and authentic posture rather than very large scale scenes.
