Italeri 6135 - 1/72 Napoleonic Wars French Imperial Guard Artillery Model Kit for Modelling Enthusiasts  [IT-6135S]

Italeri 1/72 Napoleonic French Imperial Guard Artillery Kit Overview

This Italeri 1/72 kit portrays the Regiment d'Artillerie a Pied de la Garde Imperiale, including the recognisable bearskin bonnets adopted around 1810. It offers a compact and historically aware option for modellers aiming to depict Napoleonic artillery operations.

Collector interest and modelling value

The Imperial Guard stood apart as Napoleon's elite; this set models an artillery crew, usually eight figures, each with distinct roles in gun handling. The kit appeals to collectors focused on accurate uniforms and practical display scale.

Practical build notes

Parts are moulded for small-scale authenticity, making careful assembly and neat painting essential for best results. The 1/72 format allows easy mixing with other period units while keeping display size modest.
