Italeri 1/72 Crimean British Hussars Model Kit

British Hussars of the Crimean War (1853-1856) are forever associated with the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava — the infamous cavalry charge into the "Valley of Death" immortalized by Tennyson's poem. Armed with sabres and wearing elaborate hussar uniforms with pelisses and busbies, these mounted figures capture one of military history's most dramatic (and tragic) episodes. This 1/72 Italeri set includes charging cavalrymen for Crimean War wargaming.
