The Italeri 1/72 Napoleonic Wars Austrian Infantry model kit presents a faithful miniature depiction of Austrian military dress and equipment from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The figures show signature elements such as short leather caps with brass front plates that bear the imperial eagle.
The kit references notable actions like the Battle of Marengo on June 14th, 1800, when Napoleon confronted the Austrian forces under General Baron Melas in a battle that altered the European balance. The figures include 1798-style helmets adorned with Francis II's initials, items associated with Frei-Corps and Jager light infantry battalions.
Collectors and modellers will find well-defined sculpts and historically oriented detail that reward careful painting and basing. The set serves both as an educational reference and as a satisfying build for enthusiasts of Napoleonic military history.
