Historical context and modelling value

Union infantry formations were central to many engagements and this kit recreates the appearance of common soldiering equipment and dress. The figures are useful for illustrating troop posture and ranks in a compact scale suitable for shelf display or tabletop use.

Tips for building and display

At 1/72 scale detail is compact but well defined, so use fine brushes and careful gluing to preserve crisp lines. Painting in layers and applying subtle shading will help the uniform details stand out when mounted in dioramas or cabinets.
