Italeri 6004S 1/72 Scale Highlander Infantry Kit  [IT-6004S]

Guide to Italeri 1/72 Highlander figures: history and modelling

This 1/72 scale plastic figure kit portrays Napoleonic-era Highland infantry in kilted poses, intended for compact dioramas and regiment groupings.

The era's Highland regiments, including the well known 42nd (Royal Highland) Black Watch and the 92nd Gordon Highlanders, wore recognizable tartans and headgear that distinguish them within small-scale displays.

Careful preparation is important at this scale: remove sprue marks, tidy mold seams, and dry-fit components before final gluing. Small clamps or sticky tack can help hold parts while adhesive sets.

Painting should start with a solid undercoat, followed by block colors for jackets and kilts. Use thin washes to bring out details and reserve delicate tartan lines for the final stages or decals where appropriate.

Overall, a unified basing and painting plan will ensure that a handful of figures reads as a coherent unit rather than a collection of mismatched miniatures.
