Italeri 6095 - 1/72 Napoleonic Era British Infantry Model Kit (Coldstream Guards)  [IT-6095S]

Italeri 6095 - 1/72 Coldstream Guards at Waterloo

This Italeri 6095 1/72 model set lets New Zealand modellers recreate a short but dramatic chapter from the Napoleonic Wars. The kit represents the 2nd Regiment Coldstream Guards at the Battle of Waterloo, showing their defensive actions around Hougoumont and their role in holding the line against repeated cavalry attacks.

Historical context for modellers

The figures include the classic "Brown Bess" flintlock muskets and historically accurate uniform touches. Builders can explore British infantry tactics of the period, including the use of squares and steady volley fire, while assembling a compact battlefield vignette.

Finishing tips and display uses

Perfect for painters who enjoy small-scale detail, the kit is well suited to diorama bases and display cases. Careful priming and thin paint layers will bring out the sculpted uniform folds and equipment. Glue assembly is required and will provide a sturdy finish for exhibition.
