The Italeri 1/72 Crusaders kit presents a concise selection of figures from the First Crusade era, showing the variety of forces involved in the late 11th century campaigns, including the 1099 siege of Jerusalem under Godfrey of Bouillon. The set focuses on knights in chain mail, cavalry and supporting infantry armed with crossbows.
This kit suits modellers interested in period detail at a manageable scale. The range of poses and authentic shield shapes provide good opportunities for painting techniques that highlight armour and textile differences across troop types.
1/72 scale figures are ideal for tight battle vignettes or mixed historical shelves. They integrate well with other 1/72 military models to form coherent scenes depicting tactics and equipment from the crusading period.
