Italeri 6050 - 1/72 Zulu Wars British Infantry - Historical figure pack

The Italeri 6050 kit portrays British infantrymen from the Zulu campaigns in 1/72 scale, aimed at modellers who want compact, historically styled figures. The set is suitable for cabinet displays and modest diorama scenes where authenticity is required.

Historical notes and modelling interest

The 1879 confrontations between British columns and Zulu forces present clear references for uniform and equipment detail. This kit supplies a range of stances so modellers can depict patrols, volleys or command elements. Sculpting focuses on period-appropriate accoutrements to aid accurate painting.

Assembly notes and presentation

Moulded in quality plastic, the figures show defined edges and features that respond well to shading techniques. Clean assembly and careful painting will produce convincing results; once finished, the miniatures sit well on small bases or within grouped scenes on a display plinth.

Specifications

  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Required
  • Paint: Not included
Yes, the assembly is straightforward, though attention to small parts and painting at 1/72 scale benefits from basic modelling experience.
Use matt or satin varnish after painting, selective drybrush highlighting, and subtle washes to accentuate folds and equipment for a realistic finish.
They are designed to be compatible with other 1/72 figures and accessories, so mixing with Italeri or other brands at the same scale is practical for larger displays.
Minor seam lines may require light sanding or filling; careful cleaning of parts prior to painting improves the final appearance.
