Italeri 6047 - 1/72 Roman infantry miniature kit

The Italeri 6047 1/72 model kit presents the wardrobe and weapons of a 1st Century B.C. Roman legionary, offering history-minded modellers a compact way to study and display ancient military appearance.

Significance for history modellers

Roman legionary equipment combined protection and formation tactics. The lorica segmentata gave layered coverage, the broad scutum supported cohesive defence, and the gladius and pilum provided the offensive tools suited to Roman battlefield methods.

Construction overview

At 1/72 scale the kit balances fine detail with manageable assembly steps. Clean trimming and precise gluing yield realistic poses and equipment fidelity, making it a rewarding build for those focusing on historical accuracy.

Collection and display ideas

Finished figures are excellent for museum-style displays or grouped dioramas. Their small scale allows for multi-figure arrangements showing unit drills, shield formations, and weaponry differences.

Very please, good prices and service.
Yes, once painted and based the figures fit well into display cabinets or shelves, allowing compact but informative presentations of troop formations.
Use thin coats, small brushes and layering. A wash to pick out recesses followed by light drybrushing brings out sculpted detail without obscuring fine features.
Yes, sealing with a matte or satin varnish protects paintwork and evens the finish. Apply thin, even coats to avoid buildup on details.
Consult historical illustrations and museum references for clothing and armour colours. Many modelling forums and guides also provide practical palettes for Roman units.
