Russian Hussars 1812-1814 1:72 Zvezda 8055

Plastic figure for assembly and painting: Russian Hussars 1812-1814 1:72 Zvezda 8055

A set of 1:72 scale figures depicting Russian hussar formations from the Napoleonic Wars period, specifically from 1812-1814. Hussars were the elite light cavalry of the Russian army, playing key roles in reconnaissance, troop protection, and diversionary actions behind enemy lines.

During the 1812 campaign, hussars were indispensable in vanguard and rearguard actions, masking the movements of the main army forces. Their service involved immense risk, as beyond participating in major cavalry battles, they took part in countless minor skirmishes. These formations also became the foundation for creating partisan units that harassed the communication lines of Napoleonic troops.
