Italeri 1/72 Teutonic Knights - Scale Figures for History Modelling

The Italeri 1/72 Teutonic Knights kit offers a well defined set of medieval figure parts aimed at modellers and collectors interested in period uniforms and battlefield subjects. The set is a good choice for those looking to build accurate small-scale scenes or practice figure finishing techniques.

Who Were the Teutonic Knights

Originating in the crusading period, the Teutonic Knights became a military and monastic order that later exerted influence in Eastern Europe, especially across Prussia and the Baltic. Their white surcoats with the black cross became a recognised emblem after papal endorsement around the 12th and 13th centuries, despite later military setbacks such as Lake Peipus in 1242.

Why This Kit Appeals to Modellers

The 1/72 scale offers a balance between manageable figure size and visible detail, making this Italeri kit suitable for both display cabinets and compact dioramas. Painters can use washes, drybrushing, and layering to bring out sculpted features and fabric folds.
