Italeri 6005 - 1/72 Austrian Infantry Napoleonic Wars Historical Kit  [IT-6005S]

1/72 Austrian Infantry from Italeri 6005 - Napoleonic War figures

The Italeri 6005 kit models Austrian infantry units of the Napoleonic period, with attention to the types of troops seen during 1809. It is aimed at enthusiasts who value historically faithful figure work and manageable 1/72 scale projects.

Context and modelling value

Around the time of the Wagram campaign, Austrian forces displayed varied uniform features, notably the 1798 helmet among light infantry such as the Frei-Corps and Jagers. Italeri's set captures these variations, offering rifle-equipped figures and grenadiers in bearskin caps suitable for staging period scenes or depicting the Grenadiers Corps Reserve under Liechtenstein.

Model building and presentation notes

Supplied with 48 figures plus a horse, the kit gives scope for creating compact dioramas or enhancing an existing display. The moulded detail takes paint well and rewards careful assembly, making it suitable for both collectors and experienced modellers seeking authentic Napoleonic representation.
