1:72 Infanterie française (1815)

Italeri French Line Infantry 1815 brings a key formation from the Napoleonic era into 1:72 scale, with figures shaped around the look of French line troops at the time of Waterloo. The assembly kit centres on the visual markers named in the historical brief, including the shako introduced in 1806 and the Charleville 1777 musket, so the finished figures carry a recognisable period identity on the shelf or in a battle scene. Across the sprues, the set presents line infantry in a range of combat-ready poses that suit marching lines, firing positions and advancing formations. The briquet infantry shortsword appears alongside the muskets as part of the soldiers' field equipment, adding another authentic detail for painters to pick out. A regiment drummer expands the scene beyond standard riflemen, while the eagle-bearer introduces the unit insignia that often becomes the visual focal point in a diorama. The unassembled format leaves room for careful trimming, painting and arrangement, which is central to the appeal of historical figure modelling. With an assembly time of 600 minutes, the kit supports a longer build that can be approached as a single display project or as the basis for a wider Napoleonic setup. At 14 years and up, it suits model builders who want to stage infantry lines, command details and battlefield movement in a compact 1:72 format.
