Strelets 217 1/72 Napoleonic Russian Infantry Standing Order Arms

The infantryman that fought for the Tsar during the Napoleonic Wars was a remarkable creature. Some bigoted contemporary commentators saw him as little more than an animal, but he was incredibly resilient in the face of oppression as well as enemy action, stubborn, brave and fiercely loyal to his faith and the Tsar. While he may have been unsophisticated, his qualities made him an excellent soldier, and neither Napoleon nor anyone else could afford to underestimate what he could achieve on the battlefield. For years the role of the Russian Empire in the wars with Napoleon was largely ignored in this hobby, but happily all that has changed, and this set from Strelets is just one of three on the subject to be released at the same time.
