Italeri 6188 - 1/72 British 11th Hussars Crimean War Model Kit

The Italeri 6188 release recreates the light brigade action at Balaklava, allowing modellers to represent the Prince Alberts Own 11th Hussars or the 8th Hussars as they charged under Lord Cardigan. The set reflects the appearance and equipment of mid 19th century British cavalry.

Why modellers choose this subject

The charge of the light brigade is a well known episode with strong visual appeal. At 1/72 scale the kit renders enough uniform and equipment detail to be rewarding for painters and collectors who focus on period authenticity.

Practical notes on building and display

Expect to use hobby cement and paints to finish the figures. With careful assembly and painting, the completed models display well on their own or as part of a larger Crimean War scene commemorating the 11th Hussars.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue and paint (not included)
  • Part Count: Detailed figures representing historical soldiers
The sculpts aim to represent period uniforms and kit accurately for modelling purposes. They provide a solid base for historically informed painting and display.
Most modellers can complete the kit from the box. Those seeking extra detail often add aftermarket straps, brass bits or resin accessories to enhance realism.
Use 1/72 scale infantry and artillery to keep consistency across a Crimean War diorama; this scale allows grouping units without overwhelming display space.
Keep finished models in a dust free cabinet or behind glass and avoid direct sunlight. Use a display base with soft padding during transport to prevent chips.
