The Italeri 6177 1/72 Union Infantry set reproduces the appearance of Civil War infantry with attention to uniform detail. Figures show the blue service coats and officers' redingotes that typified Union units at actions such as Bull Run, Antietam and Gettysburg. This kit is aimed at historical modellers seeking accurate small scale subjects.
Union infantry formations were central to many battles, and these figures capture the look of enlisted ranks and officers. Their scale and detail make them a practical choice for both display cases and compact battlefield dioramas.
At 1/72 scale careful prep and thin paint layers will preserve the moulded detail. Use fine brushes for trim and hardware, and consider light washes to enhance clothing folds and facial features before final matt varnish.
