The Italeri 6095 1/72 kit recreates a significant British infantry unit from the Napoleonic Wars. This set models the 2nd Regiment Coldstream Guards and their role at Hougoumont during the Battle of Waterloo, where disciplined ranks held ground against cavalry assaults led by Marshal Ney.
The figures include representations of the "Brown Bess" flintlock muskets and regiment-specific uniform elements. The kit is useful for study and recreation of period formations such as the infantry square and for collectors interested in historically grounded miniature scenes.
Suitable for display cabinets or tabletop history exhibits, the plastic parts assemble into sturdy figures that benefit from careful painting and shading. Glue is required for construction and paint is recommended to achieve an authentic finish.
