Italeri Union Artillery Model Kit 1:72 Scale

Italeri Union Artillery brings a Civil War battlefield scene into 1:72 scale with an assembly kit centered on Union artillery at Gettysburg. The set combines artillery crew, mounted troops, horses, a covered wagon and a cannon, creating a historical composition that carries the tension of a field position under pressure. The subject draws on the summer of 1863, when Union artillery helped contain the Confederate advance during the Battle of Gettysburg. In this kit, that context shapes the finished scene into more than a single gun emplacement, because the 3 riders, 10 figures, 8 horses, 1 covered wagon and cannon allow several positions and relationships within the same layout. Separate miniature parts support a staged arrangement of crew activity, transport movement and mounted presence. The 1:72 scale also fits naturally into historical dioramas and collections built around military miniatures from the same period. Assembly is required, and the stated assembly time is 600 minutes. On a shelf, in a display case or as part of a wider battle layout, the completed scene can be arranged to emphasize the cannon crew, the wagon train or the mounted figures. That makes the set suited to builders who enjoy planning composition as much as assembling historical miniatures.
